Italian Cooking Class and Market Experience

Tour the farmer's market and learn how to cook with local ingredients at this Italian cooking experience in London



5 hours Class size 1 to 13 guests       £140

It’s all about going from producer to plate during our monthly Sunday morning cooking class with Chef Stefano. At this unique London cooking class and market experience, you'll learn how to source and cook your own delicious Italian dishes.
Begin with a visit to Marylebone Farmer’s Market where you’ll meet artisan producers and choose your ingredients to create a fabulous Sunday feast. Returning to La Cucina Caldesi cookery school you’ll then produce a selection of Italian dishes that make the most of the in-season ingredients you’ve purchased.
This fun experience completely recreates the traditional Italian culinary journey of a trip to the market, selecting the best ingredients and then cooking dishes that bring out the most in those ingredients.
We don’t know what’ll be best on the day so dishes will change with availability, but example dishes can be seen below.
At the end of the class, sit down to enjoy your meal with a glass of wine and return home with the confidence and skills to make your own seasonal, locally sourced meals.
Sample menu:
  • Tuscan baby chicken
  • Genovese pesto
  • Baked seabream with crispy potatoes and tomatoes
  • Seasonal vegetables
  • Apple streusel tart
Please note:
Dish selection may change with the seasons and/or to match dietary requirements.

Recent reviews of Italian Cooking Class and Market Experience

  • 5/5 from Liza Shashenkova, attended Feb 2026: We came here to celebrate our last date out before our son is born and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to spend it. The teacher was the highlight; passionate about his craft and with a great sense of humour, we learnt new dishes to cook for our family as well as gained plenty of inspiration and finally it was nice to meet other the guests. It was a cheerful atmosphere that left us with a big smile on our faces.
  • 5/5 from Shivang Singh, attended Feb 2025: Wonderful class and a delightful teacher. He is very patient, friendly and creates a familial environment. It was light, super informative and makes you feel like a proper chef!

Learn to cook like a true Italian with expert teachers at our cookery school in our 'little corner of Italy in Marylebone'.
More than 20 years ago, Giancarlo and Katie taught friends and guests how to make fresh pasta in their restaurant on a Sunday. It proved so popular they established La Cucina Caldesi, a purpose-built cookery school open seven days a week, and have since been running their three restaurants as well as opening two other schools and writing over 15 cookbooks.
