Best Pastry Workshops For Children In Venice Near Me

4worldlovers:
One of the best cooking schools in Italy. The New York Times, Fodor's, Fox News named us one of the 10 top cooking schools in Italy.

What Is The Best Way to Learn to Cooking? An Active Personal Involvement and An Hands-on Learning, of course!

Our workshops and lessons are based on an experiential, active, concrete learning: a decidedly personal experience!


Our great emphasis is placed on combining the five flavors: sweet, salty, spicy, bitter, and umami (the glutamic taste).


Yes the Regional Italian Cuisine is naturally rich in umami taste (ripe tomatoes, black and white truffles, raw egg yolks, sundried tomatoes, air-dried Prosciutto Crudo, Colatura d'Alici, radicchio, caramelized onions, asparagus, spinach, cabbage, Parmigiano Reggiano and other aged Italian cheeses, tuna, fresh and salted sardines, Bottarga, black cuttlefish or squid ink, beef stock reductions, Dried Porcini Mushroom, and much more!)

I am a psychologist specializing in nutrition, a professional cooking instructor, and a licensed tour guide.

I was born in Venice to a large family who taught me the pleasure of sitting around a table and sharing a meal with friends or relatives. In 2015 I founded Cooking&Travelling, my website and my space where I connect with anybody interested in enjoying Food & Wine tourism.

In 2022, I founded Accademia di Cucina Italiana, an e-learning platform that helps people to learn how to cook from the comfort of their homes. Have a look at the pre-recorded videos about the most iconic Italian recipes

My cooking classes will be held in my home, a typical Venetian house which is mainly geared towards hospitality. During the summer, on my sunny terrace, I often have dinner parties. I enjoy opening the door of my home to travellers who love Venice and the Italian lifestyle. My home is in the historical centre in Venice, precisely in the area of Dorsoduro, just round the corner from campo San Barnaba.
