What to expect
You'll arrive at the kitchen space and begin prepping ingredients straightaway. The instructor guides you through each dish, explaining where ingredients come from and why they matter to Venetian cooking. Expect to chop, mix, cook and taste as you go. The pace is relaxed—this isn't rushed. After about three hours, you'll sit down together to eat what you've prepared, with water, soft drinks and wine (if you're over 18) included. The whole experience runs roughly four hours. Weather permitting, the courtyard becomes your dining room.
Good to know
The class runs in a shared group setting rather than privately. Public transport stops nearby if you need them. Bring an appetite and comfortable clothes. The kitchen is architect-designed but functional; expect some heat from the stove.
