Small groups · Seasonal ingredients · No prior cooking experience required

€85 per person + VAT

Join me for a hands-on Italian cooking experience, inspired by the traditions and flavours I grew up with in Emilia-Romagna.

The price covers everything: fresh ingredients, the dishes we prepare together (to share at the table or take home), and a glass of Italian wine I have chosen for you.

Duration: approximately 2.5 to 3 hours

Each class is an intimate journey into the flavours and traditions of Emilia-Romagna, just as I experienced them growing up.

Food has always been the language of my family.

Both of my grandmothers are gone now, but my great-aunt Vilma, who is 92, still lives on her own and continues to inspire my cooking. I call her for advice, and whenever I visit Italy, we cook together in her kitchen.

That spirit of sharing recipes, stories, and knowledge is at the heart of every Rezdôra cooking class I offer.

Whether we gather in your kitchen, mine, or with a small group, these classes are about coming together. We cook, learn, and share the experience, just as Italian families have done for generations.

I bring everything you need—ingredients and equipment—right to your home, so you can relax and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere where everyone is invited to join in, no matter their cooking experience.

At the end of the class, we sit down together to enjoy the meal we have made. If you are hosting friends or family, I will make sure your kitchen is tidy and ready for the rest of your evening.

Signature Courses

Due Uova – Two Eggs

In Emilia-Romagna, fresh egg pasta is part of everyday life. Traditionally, a visitor might be offered “due uova”, meaning pasta made with two eggs, a simple gesture of hospitality and generosity. Making fresh pasta can feel daunting at first, but with a few simple techniques and a little practice, it soon becomes a joyful and satisfying part of cooking. Menu

The Perfect Nonna Menu

When I was a child, I was a picky eater. My grandmother took it upon herself to change that. Every Thursday, she cooked all my favourite dishes, and soon, children from the neighbourhood would join us at the table. This class is a celebration of the comforting recipes that first introduced me to the joy of Italian home cooking. Everyone is welcome to join in and help create these beloved dishes, regardless of experience. Menu

Private Group Cooking Experiences

If you are looking for something special for a birthday, family gathering, team event, or celebration, I can help create a memorable experience.

Rezdôra cooking classes can be arranged as private group experiences. We will prepare an authentic Italian menu together, learn traditional techniques, share stories, and enjoy the meal around the table when the cooking is finished.

These experiences are relaxed and interactive, designed to bring people together through food. You do not need any previous cooking experience—just curiosity and a good appetite.

Available for small groups at your home or at a venue in Abcoude.

To book a class, just get in touch by email or phone. We can discuss dates, class options, and any special requests you may have. I will guide you through the process, answer your questions, and make sure you have all the details you need. I look forward to cooking with you soon.

Testimony

I had an exceptional experience with Rezdora cooking. Learning to make traditional handmade tagliatelle is a rarity these days – was both authentic and memorable. The dishes were expertly paired with Prosecco and red wine, enhancing the entire meal. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for genuine Italian cooking and warm hospitality. 😊

I had a fantastic time at my home cooking class. Chiara was friendly, clear, and made everything easy to follow. The recipes were delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and I learned useful tips I can use every day. The atmosphere was warm and fun—really like cooking with friends. Highly recommended!
