Italian Cooking Class: Cook and Taste

Join us for a vibrant Italian cooking class in Manchester!



3 hours 15 mins Class size 10 to 15 guests       £65

Join Marta for an Italian cooking class in Manchester, where food is all about family, care, and joy. Growing up in a small town near Rome, she spent her days cooking alongside her mum and Nonna, learning the rustic recipes that shaped her love for nourishing, homemade meals. Now, she’s ready to share those flavours with you.
In this Italian cooking class, you’ll learn how to make classic dishes from scratch. Marta also shows you how to create meals that are both wholesome and delicious. Don't worry if you're new to cooking -- this beginner-friendly class will have helpful guidance every step of the way.
What to expect:
  • Learn the secrets to making pillowy potato gnocchi, paired with homemade basil pesto.
  • Transform day-old bread into a fresh and vibrant panzanella salad.
  • Whip up a frothy Crema al Caffè for a sweet dessert.
  • Get all the best tips on balancing flavour with wellbeing, so you can enjoy healthy food without giving up what you love.
  • Cook alongside Marta in a welcoming environment.
At the end of the class, you’ll gather around the table to enjoy your creations together or take them home to share. Recipes and all ingredients are provided, so you can take your newfound skills and recreate these Italian classics anytime!
For every ticket sold, a nutritious meal is provided for someone experiencing homelessness, in partnership with Barnabus and Lifeshare charities. Guests are also welcome to bring along any unwanted kitchen equipment, which will be redistributed to local homeless shelters.
