Courses are hands-on under the guidance of professional Italian chef, Valter Roman, and also feature guest chefs from around the world including Alvaro Maccioni of La Famiglia restaurant in London. Alvaro is a passionate advocate of using fresh, seasonal produce and traditional methods of cooking. He believes that ‘if a chef cooks like his mother, he is a great chef. If he cooks like his grandmother, he is even greater!’ Valter believes cooking is not just a matter of weights and measures and following a recipe but of feeling and instinct and hands-on experience.
