Cooking Lessons and Courses
Sapori e Saperi offers three types of cooking class all with native Italian cooks. You can join a class with an international chef at his cooking school, have a private lesson for you or your group at the home of an Italian signora or in your own apartment or villa. Along with cooking classes, add to your know-how and enjoyment by visiting the workshops and farms where the produce you use in your lesson is grown and made. Most of the producers don't speak English and are hidden away in nooks and crannies you could never find yourself. We provide transportation, translation and explanation.

Lessons in an Italian family kitchen
In Gabriella’s kitchen you are immersed in the food culture of Italy. For Gabriella cooking is an addiction, and using the best ingredients an obsession: just-landed fish from the molo in Viareggio, wild greens from her olive grove, eggs from her own hens — nothing is too much trouble when it comes to finding first-rate produce. You learn age-old ways of preparing simple family meals. After the lesson, you sit down to a meal with Gabriella and her husband, who tends the vegetable garden, chooses the wine and generally encourages Gabriella in her addiction. Languages: English or Italian.
Fees include cooking lesson, ingredients, wine, apron and recipe booklet.

 Lessons at your apartment or villa
Following her passion for cooking, Linda has cooked in several restaurants and caters events from small dinner parties to receptions in grand villas. You’ll learn how simple good cooking can be as long as you take the time to source excellent fresh, local ingredients. She brings herbs and vegetables from her sister’s garden and meat from an outstanding butcher on a back road at the bottom of the hill below her town. If you’re an aspiring sculptor, she can teach you how to make simple carved vegetable animals and flowers. Languages: English or Italian.

Lessons in a Lucca restaurant
You go to the market with the chef in the morning and then back to the restaurant for your lesson in which you cook a typical Lucchese meal. The lesson ends in time for the restaurant to prepare for their mid-day clientele which means it's probably too early for you to want to eat what you cooked immediately, but you can taste it and come back later for a full lunch at the restaurant. Lessons in English or Italian.
Fee includes trip to market, cooking lesson, ingredients, meal at restaurant, wine.
€140 euros per person
