Nice extensive cooking workshop - Very nice cooking class! Friendly real Italian chef who explains everything well. It started with making your own tiramisu, then making your own ravioli and at the end he presented how to make Milanese risotto. In between you can visit “the market”. We had in mind that we were going to the market on the street, but it was a food market inside, which was also very nice to see. At the end you get a little prosecco (no wine tasting). All in all a nice experience
