In this workshop we will get to know the traditional cuisine of the city of Turin and the Piedmont region through all of our senses

A visit to the market and buying fresh ingredients

We will start our tour with a tour in one of the city markets:

• Porta Palazzo central market (open Monday-Friday until 1:00 p.m. and Saturday until 5:00 p.m.), the largest market in Europe with hundreds of stalls and shops offering some of the best culinary ingredients in the world.
• Madama Cristina market (open Monday-Saturday in the morning), offering fresh local produce in San Salvario neighborhood.
• Farmers’ market (open on weekends in the morning), each week in another location in town, offering traditional local delights of the Piedmont region.

We will learn about the local farmer traditions of the Piedmont region at the foot of the Alps, and we will carefully select together the local produce according to your dietary preferences and personal preference.

Aperitivo break

With the fresh purchases we will walk from the market to our modest home in front of the central train station in the hip San Salvario neighborhood, where we will refresh ourselves with tasty delicacies and a glass of some local drink.

Cooking together

With renewed strength we will start the cooking workshop, and we’ll turn the vegetables and fruits just brought from the market into a royal meal of 3 to 5 courses by our own hands. The menu is chosen together so that it is the most delicious and suitable for you. It could be a rich salad, stuffed pasta (Plin), gnocchi, risotto, stew, roasted vegetables or stuffed vegetables and a dessert of your choice.

Cost

To adapt the workshop as much as possible to your preferences, you will choose and buy the best produce directly from the merchants in the market, and we will translate your part of the conversation into Italian and vice versa.

The base price for a private workshop of 3-4 hours is €240 for the first participant with an addition of €80 for each additional participant. Extending the duration of the workshop is possible for a total cost addition of €100 per each extra hour.

The costs are shown in detail in the following price list:
