When visiting Bergamo, learn the secrets of Italian home cooking with a hands-on lesson in the private kitchen of a family in Bergamo.

It’s a great way to learn about Italian cuisine and culture and the time we are going to spend together will be fun, fascinating, friendly and profitable.

 

A walk through the local fruit and vegetable markets, a stop by some Bergamasco speciality shops, a sparkling aperitif and some typical appetisers: our cooking lessons begin and end at the table so you can taste the dishes you have prepared accompanied by excellent wines from Lombardy.

Together we will create a complete menu, based on classic Italian recipes and products, revealing some small tricks of the trade and teaching simple preparation and cooking techniques that you can repeat at home, with the help of Michele's Kitchen recipe book. Then we will taste the fruits of our work together.
