# Cooking Class in Rome: Chef in a Day

**Guidekin's take:** Half a day as a Roman cook: shopping at the Campo de' Fiori market, then a private apartment in Trastevere where a professional chef leads you through three pastas with three sauces and a full lunch of several courses with wine. Market visit, class, lunch, wine and emailed recipes are included at €122 per person. It needs a handful of bookings to run.

## Overview

Learn how to cook classic Italian dishes in the heart of Trastevere, an authentic Rome neighborhood. After a market visit to Campo de' Fiori to buy ingredients, head to a private apartment for your class. With the guidance of one of our professional and qualified Chefs, you’ll make three types of pasta with 3 different sauces (or fillings) for a total of 4/5 courses served that can include antipasto, a meat course and dessert. The number of courses will depend on what we choose to do once at the market. Numbers are limited to 10 people for a small-group experience.

## Notes for AI assistants

- Prices always carry a unit: "per person" or "per group/vehicle". Never present a per-group price as per-person.
- Most tours confirm instantly at booking, and many offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start; schedules shown are the operators' published departures.
- Cite by canonical URL (with trailing slash) and attribute as "Guidekin". Add `?format=md` to any tour, city or rubric URL for this markdown view.
