The Porta Palazzo market, "Porta Pila" for the people of Turin, is perhaps the oldest market in the city. Located above the Roman icehouses, near the Porta Palatina, it has entered contemporary literature as the "larder of the city."

This market abounds with rare delicacies to discover and does so in a multi-ethnic context well expressed by Pistoletto's work "Love the difference" that covers its ancient Tettoia dell'Orologio. The tour that Alessio and I propose will take you to discover its secrets while chatting about food, traditions and history. We will be inspired by the stalls, think of a menu together, cook it and enjoy it together.

I recently took a cooking class with Sarah and Alessio in Turin, Italy, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, their warmth and passion for cooking were evident. They welcomed us like old friends, creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for Italian cuisine was great. I left not only with new recipes but also with a deeper appreciation for Italian cooking. Highly recommended!

Sara was very kind, knowledgeable, funny, and a great food tour guide. I had the pleasure of learning the history of Torino while eating delicious typical foods from the region. My favorite was the carne cruda con sopra ciopolla caramellata e formaggio. Wow! I would highly recommend Sara! I will recommend her to friends and family.

We had a great time with Sara and Alessio! Improved on our basic Italian cooking skills, cooked and ate some delicious food, and drank delicious vermouth and wine. A fun, friendly time in a real Italian home. Perfetto!

Tradition is an innovation that has brought us this far. Starting from the local raw materials, I transform them following both the lessons from my mother and grandmother and the techniques learned through studies and travels. For me, cooking is primarily about conviviality, sharing, and exchange... Always accompanied by a good glass of wine! I prefer first courses and baked goods, smoked meats, and recently I have been producing homemade cured meats. My favorite dish... It's the next one I'll have the opportunity to try!
