Summer in Italy

Italian Cooking Classes with Chef Filippo Melfi

Duration 1 h 30 m

"Throughout my travels, I have become an expert in teaching authentic Italian cuisine to tourists and locals alike. Leaving the restaurant kitchen to focus on another passion of mine, instructing, started over 4 years ago. In that time, I have learned how to teach my love for pasta, risotto and all things Italian. I have also fine-tuned how to make vegetarian and gluten free dishes, while keeping the authentic tastes of Italy. Just let me know how you want to learn and I will ensure you will have a lovely Italian feast to your tastes!"
 

Chef Filippo is a Chef Instructor currently living and cooking in Rome, Italy.
