Meet Debora

Debora is a passionate chef from Milan, born in Bergamo, where her love for food first began. Inspired by the teachings of her mother and maternal grandmother, she developed a deep respect for ingredients, the art of cooking, and the importance of minimizing waste. Her journey began in her family kitchen, and over the years, Debora honed her culinary skills by earning diplomas in baked goods like pizza, focaccia, bread, and cakes. Debora’s cooking classes in her home in Milan are a reflection of her rich family traditions and years of experience. She invites guests to join her in exploring cherished Italian recipes, while sharing the memories and flavors that have shaped her culinary journey.

What to expect

Cooking experience: (1-6 guests) Join Debora for a hands-on, authentic Italian cooking class in her home in Milan, where you’ll learn the art of making traditional Italian dishes. In this 2-hour Milan cooking class, Debora will guide you through the process of preparing fresh pasta and pizza or tiramisu from scratch. You’ll learn how to make the perfect dough for pasta, and create delicious dishes like tagliatelle or ravioli or tortelloni or gnocchi. Debora will share her expert tips as you work with flour and eggs to make the dough, master rolling techniques with a rolling pin, and shape your pasta by hand. You’ll also explore making classic Italian sauces, such as fresh tomato or basil and parmesan or butter and sage or porcini mushrooms or ragù alla bolognese. For dessert, you’ll prepare a traditional tiramisu, or opt to make pizza as a second dish. After cooking, sit down at the dining table to savor the delicious meal you’ve helped prepare, paired with local wine, and experience the warmth and authenticity of Italian family cooking.

This cooking class is perfect for food enthusiasts, home cooks, and travelers seeking an authentic Italian culinary experience in Milan.
