Are you interested in learning about the delicious Mediterranean cuisine at your destination in addition to taking an Italian course there? We offer different cooking courses in a wonderful Mediterranean atmosphere at our cooking school “Arte Culinaria” in Santa Domenica di Ricadi, 3 km south of Tropea.
A varied, seasonal shopping basket determines what’s on the menu. Under professional guidance, course participants create wonderful multi-course meals. Our courses are great fun, too! Furthermore, your individual needs will be considered during all the cooking courses. No knowledge of Italian is required for them.
Course participants also get a written copy of the delicious recipes so that they can use them for their next Italian dinner at home. Surprise your friends and family with home-made Saltimbocca or special pasta creations! You can choose from 4 different courses.
