Flavours of Italy: Vegetarian Cooking Masterclass

Enjoy some plant-based deliciousness at this Italian cooking class in London.



2 hours Location Isle of Dogs Class size 1 to 10 (public classes), 10 to 16   £75

Come together for a hands-on Italian cooking class in London where vegetables take centre stage and the menu is a delightful surprise. You'll learn to create two simple yet spectacular dishes – perhaps pillowy Potato Gnocchi, Stuffed Eggplant Boats, a creamy Saffron Risotto, or a soul-warming Pasta e Legumi – guided by Monica, a passionate cook whose love for fresh ingredients is truly infectious.
This is hands-on, not a demonstration. You'll work alongside Monica to transform humble vegetables into something extraordinary, picking up her tricks for coaxing out maximum flavour from every ingredient. Whether you're a first-timer or you've been cooking for years, you'll find the techniques straightforward to learn and easy to use in your own kitchen.
When the class ends, you won't just have new skills – you'll have enjoyed your creations paired with a thoughtfully selected wine that brings out the best in what you've made, and you'll take home the recipes to recreate the magic whenever you fancy it. That's the joy of Italian vegetarian cooking: simple ingredients, brilliant results, and a whole lot of flavour in every bite.

Recent reviews of Flavours of Italy: Vegetarian Cooking Masterclass

  • 4/5 from Lois, attended Nov 2024: The teacher was really friendly and helpful and the class was enjoyable. The venue was good. When the teacher demonstrated something themselves it was most helpful, but most of the time we were told rather than shown. Few points to consider to improve: there was no recycling everything was put in the bin and we prepared food on non-reusable plates. We did stuffed aubergine but there wasn't a lot of options (other veg) or any seasoning beyond salt to add. Also think the aubergine needed longer to cook it was very tough to eat. But still enjoyed the class itself and great we did two dishes!
  • 3/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: It was a good to be hands on and make a couple of dishes. However I didn't really like the taste of what we made - it was pretty plain and bland. Also there was not much in the way of skill building - it was more like following instructions, but not giving us many tips on how to improve things.

female Women-owned

A modern tale, a story of female entrepreneurship.
Born in post-war Italy, in the poor South, a young and courageous woman opens her first corner shop in a village of not even 1000 souls.
Giovanna, or as everyone called her Nina, with love and great passion manages her business which in a short time becomes the only point of reference in the village and where she proudly also raises 4 children and 9 grandchildren.
La Nina Culinary Experiences, was born with the same purpose: to bring quality and, above all, that approach to customer service which made every visit to La Nina special.
The founder of the project is the eldest niece, Monica, who learned to sell, communicate, create relationships, in that magical place of Nina's shop, and she now is eager to recreate that atmosphere with her cooking classes, wine tastings and special events, in a pop-up, in the Isle of Dogs, Canary Wharf.
