private lesson


 How we can help you...


Do you like good food and good wine and would you like to cook at home the wonderful dishes you've tasted in your last trip in Italy?
Do you think the music of Bocelli and Pavarotti is an ideal substrate for a tasting evening with friends or a romantic dinner, but would you also understand what they say?
Would you like to order a full dinner at your favorite restaurant amazing the waiter with a perfect pronunciation?

Speak & CookItalian is the right solution for you.
We can offer a customized class, and you will be able to learn a lot of Italian words and idioms cooking delicious food.
Lessons can be for one person only up to a maximum of 4 (if the size of your kitchen allow it), and with our guide you can just prepare a dish or a full 3-course dinner. We can create your own menus for special events and for romantic anniversary dinners.

While cooking, listening to Italian music, we will discuss the Italian habits at the table and not only.
The lessons vary from a minimum of 2 hours to a maximum of 4, depending on the selected menu.

Once you've chosen which dishes you would like to cook, and how many portions of each dish, we’ll send you the shopping list with the necessary ingredients, which will be available at your home for the lesson.
We will show you also the kind of pots that we use, and in case you have not yet all the right equipment we’ll bring the right tools (for example, the pasta machine).


Booking a lesson



During a 2 hour cooking lesson we can aim to cook two dishes of your choice.

A 3 or 4 hour cooking lesson is instead designed for a full 4-course menu (starter, pasta or rice, fish or meat, dessert), and it is preferable to prepare the most elaborate dishes such as homemade pasta.

All of our cookery lessons are very much tailored, so we’ll put together a list of recipe ideas for you to pick and choose from based on your own specific requirements, including likes, dislikes and any dietary requirements you may have. Then, once you’ve chosen which dishes you’d like to learn to cook, simply tell us how many people you’d like to cook for and we’ll send you a shopping list for ingredients to have available.

We’ll use only fresh ingredients, so you can use the lesson to stock up your fridge and freezer.

To book send us an email indicating which dishes would you prepare and how many portions, how many people will attend the lesson (1/2 or 3/4), and if you have specific requirements, including likes, dislikes and any dietary requirements you may have.
We will get back indicating the number of hours required for the preparation of selected dishes and the cost of the lesson.
