Full Course Cooking Class in Rome with Farmers Market Visit

It was nice to meet at the market and to learn about the different vegetables I wish we would have spent more time walking around. It’s very colorful. I loved the menu. I enjoyed making fresh pasta and learned how to prepare some ingredients I had never cooked with before. I would have liked to be more involved preparing the main dish Felipo and Teresa were great.

I and my teenager son really enjoyed this cooking class and the food afterwards. Chef Filippo was great and kindly shared tips and tricks, so I learned a lot. I am looking forwards to put all my knew knowledge into the practice, so would really appreciate if you send me all recipes we made. Thank you

Max, could you please send us the recipes as promised? I have dinner with friends next weekend to show off all the fabulous skills you taught me and can’t do without them! It was the mini calzoni, Cavatelli, the meat meal and the vanilla ice cream.

We had an amazing time at this class. From the wonderfully fun walk through the market to the incredible dessert, this is a must for all the cooks out there. Felipo was so very entertaining, the staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this event.

It was a super experience and Filipe as a fantastic cook. a lot of tips and tricks to take with us back home. thanks to you all

The class started out a little rocky. We, along with the instructor, met at the market only to find it was closed! (Such is life in Rome during August) He improvised by arranging for a cab for us and we went to a local Eataly to shop there, which was quite fun. Based on the preferences of the group (we were a small group - just 8 of us) he chose the ingredients for the menu. We then went back to the cooking school, where a member of the management team was there to personally apologize for the mix up (which was clearly not their fault - the market hours listed indicated it should have been open). The cooking school was wonderful - there was plenty of space for all 8 of us to work. We cooked a delicious meal which included 3 courses and dessert. I cook quite a bit and was worried that the experience would be too basic. But, it was not - I learned new things and the instructor also took the time to teach our girls some techniques - we all had a great time. The meal itself was outstanding. While we did help to prepare it, the chef/instructor put the finishing touches on and it really felt like we had a private chef preparing a gourmet meal for us. We ate in a dining room separate from the kitchen, which was also quite nice. Our instructor/chef was personable, warm and great fun to get to know. I would absolutely recommend this experience!

We had a nice time, with an friendly cook, who took us to the market and the butcher first. What we did not like was the planned visit to two market stalls, obviously with the intention to let us buy there something. But after that, it was a pleasure to follow the class. We made delicious food end after the class, we had a nice lunch together. Absolutely value for money. I had the cokking class together with my sons ( 34, 32 and 32 years, we all liked it)

We met Adri (our chef) at the market on a sunny winter day and decided together what we were going to cook. We learned a lot about typical vegetables we didn't know (broccoletti, puntarelle and lots of other wild salad types), sicilian tomatoes and the meat you use for ossobuco. The modern cooking school is in a beautiful ancient buildung three steps away from the market and we started right away with a caffé... We cooked three different types of artichokes, made ravioli with broccoletti and ricotta, ossobuco and a semifreddo/vanilla and lemon. Adri was very nice, explained everything – also scientifically, if needed –, he is very much into regional, 0 km, vegetarian – but doesn't try to make people think the way he does. We had a lovely time with him and everything was delicious. Mille grazie!
