Learn to cook in Italy

Learn to cook on one of our authentic Italian cooking courses at beautiful Lorella's country house ,which used to be my grandmother country house.

You will stay at Tenuta La Pila, a recently restored large Veneto farm which is now a stunning B.& B. just 5 minutes drive from Lorella's country house. It is set in a quite location surrounded by Wheat and sunflower field. 

You will learn to cook Italian food with Lorella Cappellato, a locally born chef who studied by the most important Italian cookery schools and who worked in Italy and Usa with very important chefs.

Lorella will help you to learn how to cook splendid Italian 4 course lunches, and will teach you all the basic Italian cooking techniques, from pasta to pastries and everything in between. The cooking lessons are given at Lorella's country house.. Most of the ingredients you will use are bought each morning from local markets or directly picked up from Lorella's kitchen-garden. So you will learn to cook with fresh fruit and vegetables in season.

Throughout your time at culinary school you will learn about the ingredients and the traditions around the dishes as well as food presentation and wine choice.

Our learn to cook courses are from Sunday to Saturday and include 4 elaborate hands-on cooking sessions with enough time to relax and enjoy the surroundings.Upon request, one day excursion will be organized to visit a vineyard for wine tasting. As well as a local lunch in a typical Verona Hills restaurant. It is also possible to bring along a non-participating partner who can spend the morning sightseeing or biking or enjoying the swimming pool while you learn to cook, and then joy us at the party for lunch..
