  • Local food markets are an important staple in any good Italian neighbourhood. Italians love to eat fresh and seasonal food at home and the local market is the best place to go. They are often very lively places with the stall owners provoking potential customers to try their fresh produce. Stand at the stand, shoulder to shoulder with italian "nonne" and try the local produce before taking it home.
  • In Milan, a private cooking class introduces you to the flavors of Lombardy, from handmade pasta to rich risotti. Guided by your chef, you prepare and enjoy authentic recipes in a refined Milanese setting.
