A great way to understand the cuisine of a country is to make it yourself – with the help of a local expert. Most cities will offer you the opportunity to take up an afternoon cooking class, where you can meet with a local chef, select and work with fresh produce, and cook up a delicious local dish with guidance from a culinary whiz.
One of the most famous cooking classes in Europe is the one that takes place with Nonna Ciana near Siena in Italy, where you can not only cook up a scrumptious pasta dish, but enjoy wine, olive oil and other produce from local farms and producers. Whether you’re travelling solo or with your children, cooking classes are something that everyone can enjoy.
