| Cookery Courses at La Preghiera |
|
Italian cuisine is world famous and the secrets of making pasta like Nonna are highly sought after! Cooking classes at La Preghiera in Umbria are “hands on” where guests learn to make delicious regional dishes. Choose from the half day, full day or three day cooking holidays available at this luxury country house in Umbria.
We have spent a long time devising our cookery courses, to offer guests the opportunity to experience the feel of a real Italian kitchen, learning to prepare recipes that have been handed down over generations, which can be combined with a visit to a typical, bustling, Umbrian market plus an excursion to search for the highly prized “Tartufo”, which is a speciality of our region, the Alta Valle Tevere.
