Morning or afternoon slots, the table is shared with other guests, and the meal is what the class makes. 4.83 from 46 reviews at €179 per person for 3h. ## Overview Immerse yourself in a small group cooking class at local's home,  learn the secrets of the most famous dishes of Cinque Terre cuisine and taste the fruit of your labour accompanied by a glass of local wine. During the lesson the local home cook will reveal the tricks of the trade of 3 authentic Riomaggiore recipes. Have fun putting your cooking skills to the test. Patricipants will have a workstation equipped with utensils and all the ingredients to make the dishes. Then, taste everything you have prepared accompanied by a selection of red and white local wines.
