Eleonora’s Cooking School

My name is Eleonora and I run a cooking school in the heart of Assisi, where I share my greatest passion every day: Umbrian cuisine. It is a welcoming place where you learn by doing, through recipes, techniques, and traditions, in a friendly and convivial atmosphere.The experiences end with a short tasting of the dishes prepared together, because the main goal of the cooking school is to pass on techniques and tips so that each guest can easily recreate the recipes at home.I live and work surrounded by the beauty of Umbria and its produce, which follows the rhythm of the seasons. In my cooking school, I like to share Umbrian culinary traditions with my guests, enhancing local flavors and using fresh ingredients grown in nearby fields.

The class was so much fun. Eleanora was informative, and shared some key points in making sauce. The three of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Best of all was the opportunity to eat what was made.

Laurie - 

Eleonora was amazing! My wife and I took the sauce cooking class. It was amazing to learn different authentic recipes (carbonara, Amatriciana, and norcina). It’s a great environment and we were with 4 other people. We got to eat them all and had a bottle of wine as well. Highly recommend!

Matthew McArthur - 

Eleanora and Francesco were absolutely fantastic. Their hospitality and expertise with attention to detail made the experience once in a lifetime. Def going to do a wine/cheese tasting party with Francesco when he goes to the States in Nov. 2026.

Steven Hayne - 

Eleonora was amazing! She taught me so many techniques and little tricks to best prepare my Christmas lunch. The online cooking class was truly excellent: clear, engaging, and fun. Besides learning a lot, I really enjoyed every moment!
