COOKING CLASS
A Taste of Italy
One of the most fun and memorable moments of the retreat is getting into the kitchen together.
During our hands-on Italian cooking class, we’ll roll up our sleeves, get our hands dirty and learn how to prepare some delicious traditional dishes using fresh, local ingredients. You’ll learn the little techniques and secrets that make Italian cooking so special — but most importantly, we’ll have fun doing it.
There will be plenty of tasting, laughter, a little bit of chaos in the kitchen, and, of course, a beautiful meal to enjoy together at the end.
It’s not about being a perfect cook. It’s about slowing down, learning something new, sharing the experience and enjoying food the Italian way — around a table, together.
Come hungry, curious, and ready to have some fun.
OUR COOKING CLASS IS LED BY A TALENTED LOCAL CHEF WHO SPENT MANY YEARS WORKING IN MICHELIN-STARRED RESTAURANTS IN ROME AND BERLIN. HE RECENTLY OPENED HIS OWN WONDERFUL BAKERY HERE IN ORVIETO, BRINGING HIS PASSION FOR FOOD AND CREATIVITY BACK TO HIS HOMETOWN. AND THERE’S AN EXTRA PERSONAL TOUCH: HE ALSO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS. SO YES, I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO HAVE HIM AS PART OF THE RETREAT, AND EVEN LUCKIER THAT YOU GET TO LEARN FORM HIM!
