Description

Step into the warm, welcoming home of Ilaria, a professional chef nestled in the heart of Trastevere, one of Rome’s most picturesque neighborhoods. Surrounded by the lush green of the Botanical Garden, you’ll be embraced by the aromas, flavors, and traditions of true Italian cooking. Ilaria’s love for cuisine runs deep—she began working in her family’s restaurant at just 15. “My mother and grandmother were both chefs. They passed on to me not just their recipes, but their passion. Today, I teach their secrets to my children, friends, and guests from around the world.” This hands-on cooking class is perfect for food lovers of any level—whether you’re an experienced home cook, an enthusiastic beginner, or even a curious child! The small group size (maximum 8 people) ensures an intimate, personalized experience alongside Ilaria’s lively family, including her husband Samuel and their three children. After a warm welcome, you’ll dive into preparing Fettuccine, Ravioli, and Orecchiette, paired with rich red or delicate white sauces—depending on the season and what’s fresh at the local market. You’ll learn how to: • Mix and knead fresh pasta dough by hand • Shape traditional Italian pasta styles • Create the perfect sauce pairings • Use different flours and substitute ingredients for home cooking • Pair wine with food like an Italian While cooking, you’ll enjoy local appetizers and wine as Ilaria shares stories, techniques, and tips passed down through generations. And just when you think it can’t get better—your efforts culminate in a shared meal at the family table, where laughter, wine, and freshly made pasta abound. To finish,with Ilaria you will prepare the original Tiramisu following her family's recipe, the final sweet touch to an unforgettable Roman experience.
