Private Northern Italian Cooking Class in Como
Lake Como, Italy
About This Activity
Enter the home of a Cesarine-verified host cook in or near Como for a 3-hour class focused on the cucina lombarda. Prepare Lake Como's signature dish, risotto al pesce persico (perch risotto with butter and sage), alongside hand-rolled pasta and a seasonal dessert. Your host explains the regional pantry — Grana Padano, butter, polenta, and lake fish — and guides you through each step before sitting down to eat together with local wine. Maximum 8 guests, typically €120 per person. Book via Cesarine.com well ahead.
Seasonal note: Year-round indoor class; seasonal ingredients change the menu
