What to expect

You'll start by walking through a local market with your guide, selecting ingredients for the day's menu and learning what makes each item special. Back in the kitchen, you'll work hands-on preparing dishes—expect to chop, sauté, and plate food under guidance. The pace allows time to chat and ask questions. Once everything's cooked, you sit down together to eat what you've made, with wine flowing throughout. It's casual, not formal; the focus is on doing the work and tasting the results rather than watching a demonstration.
