Federico was so good at explaining what we needed to do, how to do it, what the little tricks are, and best of all, he makes it so much fun. We really enjoyed cooking with him and would highly recommend this to anyone who loves food and cooking.

The highlight of our time in Italy, this was everything - amazing value - incredible castle with history - genuine local people who care about food and culture - and did I mention the cooking class with Chef Alessandri? Not only is he an incredibly experienced chef, but he is also a teacher and entertainer! We had so much fun in our class and enjoyed ourselves so much it felt like a dream. On top of everything, they made all the arrangements for transport and our stay was super easy. We only planned to stay one day, you should spend at least 3 and by the way, this would be a wonderful place for a wedding! We're looking forward to our next trip to Rome so we can get away to Umbria and visit Chef Alessandri and family again! (We also loved the truffle-hunting puppies taxi and Uber, who made it feel especially like home-away-from-home)

In these times of COVID confinement we all need to find something new to do, and find a way to at least travel in our mind. A cooking class is a great way to combine both. Today we had an online cooking class with Chef Federico Alessandri. You might think what for, I can just watch any cooking channel. You’d be wrong! This is interactive! You watch, you do, you learn, you have immediate feedback. You can do it with friends all from different eG locations. All you need is a good internet connection, an open mind and enjoy cooking. You can even discuss what you want to learn. So it’s tailored to your preference or dietary needs. Go for it! You won’t be disappointed.

We went with our boys that are 12 and 14 years of age, they enjoyed it a lot and told us they would love to come back. I will come with them for sure!

Federico is such a talented chef but more than that he knows how to impart the love of cooking. We had such a wonderful time. It is one of the days we talk about most when sharing our trip experience with friends and family. Certainly a highlight of our trip to Rome.

I cannot find the words to express my gratitude for the chef Federico. This course has allowed us to bring back with us a wonderful memory of our trip to Rome!

We are not the best of cooks, but during the class we have been able with no great effort to prepare wonderful recipes, even good looking ones! We would never have been able to do that without our Federico!

It is easy to book it, very helpful and friendly staff. They came to our place because we could not go to the market, however we have been able to cook with all the other people. Excellent!

This place is fantastic, located in a distinctive area in Rome. If you like Italy, Federico’s course is the right place to know all the secrets of the Italian cuisine, to take back home then.

I can’t wait to prepare the recipes at home, I am sure I will impress all of my friends. I feel like an Italian when I am at the stove, thanks Federico!

An unforgettable experience, a very talented and helpful chef. I really enjoyed every single dish that we cooked and was beyond full by the end of the session. The price paid is worthwhile just for the quality of food that you get to eat let alone the addition of the insightful cooking class !! Plenty of wine was also included ! If you enjoy cooking/food and are in Rome you have to make it to Chef Alessandri’s class !!!

Federico is good and speaks well in English. We had fun and the market in Rome is very characteristic and then we went back to prepare food in its wonderful place. We recommend it to everyone and we will return to Federico on our next trip to Rome!

oon as I will have a chance I would like to be Federico’s student again. This time I have gone with some friends and their liveliness did contribute to make the day an entertaining one, however next time I will choose a different individual course to focus only on cuisine.

My mother in law, daughter (16))and I enjoyed this experience immensely. We learned how to prepare wonderful food with Chef Federico. It was a fun way to spend the day and a nice break from sightseeing. The atmosphere was light and relaxing.

After much research on TripAdvisor, I decided upon this cooking class to attend during my time in Rome. A decision I do not regret! Chef Alessandri is a very knowledgeable and charismatic man whose passion for food and teaching was a joy to experience! The adventure began with a walking trip to the Campo di Fiori, a local cheese shop, and butcher shop, where we selected the freshest ingredients to prepare in class at the chef’s studio kitchen. A totally hands on class, we, as students, chopped and peeled vegetables as well as prepared and shaped pasta dough by hand! The course consisted of an egg pasta (in the “mother” sauce (tomato)), a semolina pasta (in a broccoli, goat cheese cream sauce), and potato gnocchi (with sweet Gorgonzola, walnuts, and persimmons). We also prepared a chicken dish in a lemon cream sauce . During this time, the wine poured freely! We also were fortunate enough to start with a tasting of olive oil that the chef himself makes and bottles in Umbria. The day ended with a dessert of strawberries macerated in white wine, sugar, and mint! I walked away full and with a confidence that I could recreate the dishes back in Texas. I highly recommend this class, a must do for the cooking enthusiast!
