Shared Experience
Your experience

    Take part in a culinary experience with a local in Venice! We will visit the historic Rialto Market, dating back to the 9th century, where we will select fresh fish, meat and other ingredients. The market, near the iconic Rialto Bridge, offers a glimpse of traditional Venetian life, with vendors haggling and shouting out the specialties of the day. After a visit to a traditional bacaro to enjoy a glass of wine and a cicchetto, we will head to my home, quiet and off the tourist trail, to prepare the dishes we have chosen together. I will share culinary tips and techniques so you can recreate these delicious Venetian specialties at home. A hands-on culinary experience, but also a taste of authentic Venetian culture and history!

    Superb class and walking tour. Barbara walked my wife and I through the Rialto Fish Market in Venice explaining to us what the market was and answering all our questions, while at the same time picking up all ingredients needed for our pasta and panna cotta lunch which we made from scratch. After showing us around the town while enroute to her kitchen, we saw very cool sights that aren’t on very many tour guides. Her English is superb and her classes are fun and interactive. Lunch was wonderful. Would highly recommend Barbara’s classes for the future.

    Excellent! By far one of our favorite experiences ever! Barbara was magnificent: warm, kind, and extremely accommodating. The weather was awful, and she met us in a nearby square in order to help. The intimate size of the group (only four of us) made for a wonderful time. We highly recommend it.

    Joining the Tiramisu and Pasta cooking class in Venice was a delightful experience. Thanks to Barbara, we learned the secrets of fresh home-made pasta and tiramisu! We explored the essence of Italian cuisine in a beautiful, traditional Venetian home. Barbara, our gracious host, made the experience even more memorable with her warmth and expertise. It felt like visiting a friend’s house!

I love cooking for my friends and family, and over the years I’ve specialised in Venetian dishes, as they are so varied and full of flavour, a true expression of Venice’s precious and rich history.”
