Those who enjoy traveling often plan their trips around food, and many of them even take cooking lessons while they are abroad. If you are traveling alone, this is a wonderful way to meet people. It is also a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the local culture and make lasting friendships. Whether you are interested in making homemade tortillas or handmade pasta, a culinary adventure is available in nearly every country you visit.


Italy for Foodies:

Most Americans love Italian food. It offers bold flavors and a myriad of different options based on the different parts of Italy where the food is made, plus it provides a hominess and warmth. After all, nothing is better than gathering around a dining table filled with family and friends while eating the food you made from scratch.

Not surprisingly, many people seek out culinary adventures when they visit the country. Many study the best restaurants and add them to their travel agenda. Others look for hands-on experience and want to learn how to make these wonderful dishes so they can replicate them once they return home.

Here are some wonderful options for foodies traveling to Italy who want to learn more about the local culinary culture. This is courtesy of  Journey of Doing:

  • Pasta Cooking Class in Bologna: You don’t have to be an expert cook for this class. It takes place in a pasta workshop where attendees will make pasta dough from scratch, roll the pasta, and make tagliatelle and tortellini. The finale is enjoying your pasta with local wine.
  • Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class: This class is taught by a master chef who shares the secrets of Roman cuisine. You will make your own pasta dough and learn how to make tiramisu. You will learn how to choose ingredients and pair sauces with pasta. You will receive the recipes at the end of the class so you can recreate them at home.
  • Gelato Making in Verona: If you are a sweet lover and gelato is your “go-to” dessert, then you need to book a Gelato Making Class in Verona. You will learn from a local Italian chef how to make gelato, sorbetto, and semifreddo. At the end of the class, you will get to enjoy your frozen desserts and receive a recipe book. This class is open to all ages and experience levels.

Even some well-known celebrities and influencers have attended cooking classes, among them are Tyra Banks, Mink Kelly, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, and Claudette Schwartz. Next time you are planning a trip abroad, check out the local culinary community and learn how to make some authentic food and bring back that knowledge to share with family and friends upon your return.
