Overview

If your diet is gluten free, don’t worry, Italians don’t eat only pasta!

In this cooking class, you’ll learn to create your very own delectable, gluten free Italian traditional dishes from North Italy, like risotto or polenta.
Alternatively, if you really like some pasta recipe from the Center or the South of Italy, we can use pasta made with legumes and not with wheat. We will then prepare a sauce of your choice to pair with the pasta.

We will use seasonal, organic, locally sourced ingredients.

I speak Italian, English, and French, if guests speak different languages, then English will be used.
