Venice Cooking Class - Cook and Eat in Venice Like a Local

BENVENUTI NELLA MIA CUCINA!

There is no better way of exploring Venice and its culinary tradition than through the eyes of a local chef.

I am here to make your experience as enjoyable and memorables as possible.

If you are looking for an authentic and exclusive way to experience typical Venetian flavours, you have come to the right place.

Skip the lines, the noise and the over-priced spots and let me be your guide. We’ll explore the Rialto market and scout for fish from the Adriatic sea, spices from the east and splendid vegetables from the nearby islands to create a delicious lunch from scratch and enjoy it with a glass (or two!) of Prosecco.

My cooking classes are tailored around you: sessions can vary from hands-on experiences to “sit back and relax”. We will discuss the menu in advance to meet your preferences and needs, always taking into account seasonal availability.

The experience will be only for you and your Group, I only offer private classes to guarantee an exclusive, unique experience. Groups can range from 1 to 6 people.

THEY SAY ABOUT US...

A Unique and Delicious Venetian Culinary Experience!
Recently, my daughter and I had the pleasure of experiencing the Venice Cooking pasta making class in the kitchen of Chef Michele’s beautiful piano nobile. There we made 3 fresh pastas and 3 different delicious sauces. I was amazed at how the readily available high quality organic ingredients easily transformed into gourmet dishes that I am able to recreate at home in my kitchen. I have made the tagliatelle amatriciana three times already much to my family’s delight. Michele took us to his local produce shop and bakery to pick up some ingredients and then we spent the next 4 hours cooking and eating in his ultra state of the art, well appointed kitchen. This is a unique and special experience in Venice and well worth it!

A perfect day
We had such a great day with Michele and his team. We cooked and ate beautiful food. We learnt techniques and the history of dishes from Venice all the while being in the hands of a truly professional chef in his wonderful Venetian apartment looking onto a canal. I use the recipes on a regular basis back in my Australian kitchen. We have done 100's of classes in Italy and this was a perfect experience full of warmth, fun, knowledge, food and wine. Thank you for sharing so much Michele.

A 'Must' in Venice
My 13 yo daughter and I had this very memorable experience with Chef Michelle Cabianca in his kitchen on the 5th floor of a beautiful building in Venice.
We prepared shrimp and scallops for starter, fresh spaguetti Nero, branzino baked in salt and dessert. It was one of the best cooking class, delicious food with a lot of fun. Chef Michelle is not just a profissional chef but a passionate, calm, warm and made us felt like cooking with a friend!

A hidden gem in busy Venice
Our experience with Michele was a 10 out of 10 from beginning to end! From the amazing tour of Rialto market, to his breath-taking apartment, the beautiful, professional kitchen and the delicious food, we could not recommend this experience more. It is not easy to find truly authentic experiences in Venice and without a doubt having found Michele was the highlight for us. We learned so much about what it truly means to live and work in Venice, about its rich culinary tradition, and about cooking like a professional! Michele is a very dedicated professional chef who has a talent for teaching and a fantastic personality. We felt welcomed into his home like old friends and greatly enjoyed every second of our time with him. This is an amazing value for such an exclusive experience, my husband and I wanted to take a class just the two of us and this was the only one that would guarantee exclusivity!

The Best Cooking Experience in Venice
Tripadvisor review *****
My wife and I had the best experience in Michele’s kitchen today! Michele is a wonderful teacher and his technique of only using the freshest ingredients in his food made this the best meal you will ever have in all of Venice. He welcomed us into his house which alone was worth the trip to see how the people of the city live and he taught us step by step how to create a wonderful meal. We couldn’t eat it all but each dish was better than the one before it. Best of all for us was the homemade tiramisu for dessert. Bravo Michele!!!!! Bravo!!!

During the terrible plague that hit Europe between 1629 and 1633, Venice lost 12,000 out of its 150,000 citizens in only 17 months.
