Discover the Heart of Parma’s Culinary Traditions (€ 70 per person)
At Parma Cooking Classes, a cook with a local experience will guide you through the authentic culinary traditions of Parma, a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. We are locals—not professional chefs—passionate about sharing our love for Parma’s rich food culture.
Here, food is culture, identity, the past and the future.
Cooking Is for Everyone
We believe cooking is for everyone, regardless of skill level. That’s why our classes are designed to be inclusive, fun, and welcoming. We will guide you step by step with patience, warmth, and personal attention. As a result, you will feel at ease as you explore Parma’s traditional cuisine in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Transform Fresh Ingredients Into Exquisite Dishes
In our classes, you will discover how simple, fresh ingredients can transform into exquisite dishes. Moreover, using traditional vs modern techniques, we will show you how to make authentic recipes that have been passed down for generations. Along the way, we will share the stories, history, and traditions behind each dish, helping you connect to the soul of Parma’s culinary heritage.
Learn to Select the Finest Ingredients
As part of your experience, you will learn how to select the best ingredients. For example, from choosing the perfect Parmigiano Reggiano to understanding the delicate flavors of Prosciutto di Parma, we will help you bring out the best in your cooking. Thus, these insights will allow you to recreate the magic of Parma’s cuisine in your own kitchen.
Immerse Yourself in Parma’s Lifestyle
Our classes offer a chance to immerse yourself in Parma’s unique lifestyle. Moreover, you will see how we celebrate food as an art form and how every meal brings people together.
