Description
This Padua cooking class starts out on foot, with a guide who leads you through the old streets, the markets and the traditional food shops. It is a way to meet the regional ingredients before they land on your plate and to hear how Veneto cooks think about food.
After about an hour of wandering, you head to a home kitchen in the city. There you cook a classic Paduan recipe yourself, with local ingredients and guidance from your host on the traditional techniques. The dish may be bigoli pasta with duck ragù, a risotto or the sweet biscuits called zaleti.
- Guided walk through the historic streets of Padua
- Stops at local markets and small artisan food shops
- Hands-on cooking in a local home
- The meal you have cooked, with a glass of Veneto wine
The whole experience lasts around three hours and ends at the table, eating what you prepared. It suits food lovers who would rather cook than just taste, and you leave with recipes to repeat at home. It runs in English and Italian.
