Italian Cooking Classes
From melt‑in‑your‑mouth pasta to rich sauces, the Italian class teaches authentic techniques and ends with a shared lunch and wine at Spicers Tamarind.
Flour dusts the bench, olive oil warms in the pan, and conversation flows easily as you cook side by side.
Information
In this Italian cooking class, guests are welcomed into a relaxed, hands‑on experience where traditional techniques, simple ingredients and shared moments take centre stage.
Guided by a Spicers chef, the morning unfolds at an unhurried pace — preparing, tasting and learning before gathering around the table to enjoy the dishes you’ve created together. It’s less about instruction, more about connection, flavour and the quiet pleasure of cooking well in beautiful surrounds.
Our talented chefs will take you through a variety of dishes building your knowledge and skills of Italian cooking whilst also exploring the history and tradition of this wonderful cuisine.
Master the art of creating your own melt-in-your-mouth pasta and match it with a variety of flavoursome sauces.
Of course, you’ll enjoy an Italian feast at the end of the class having learnt techniques and dishes you can easily recreate at home to share with friends and family.
