Master the real Carbonara in this fabulous three course virtual cooking class, prepared with a chef live from Italy

This cooking class is a love story to cheese.  Let's start with the hero of this menu - the traditional Roman dish, pasta Carbonara is very simple in ingredients and easily a weeknight staple. This technique is the one to master. In this private virtual cooking class, your chef video calling you live from Italy will teach you the tips and tricks to a perfect Carbonara. A creamy pasta filled with Pecorino Romano and guanciale is found on nearly every menu in Roman trattorias. It's an essential dish to master for any Italian cuisine lover.


But as a class built as an ode to the most loved Italian cheeses, this class continues with Parmigiano Reggiano and using it in extraordinary ways. In your cooking experience, your Carbonara will be rounded out with an authentic bruschetta topped with Parmigiano Reggiano petals. If you think you've had Bruschetta before, this class will challenge every Bruschetta you've had in the past.  From the Italian word "bruscare" meaning "to roast over coals," your Bruschetta will be a fabulous start to your meal. Your meal wouldn't be complete without a beautiful wine poached pear stuffed with a lemony ricotta that will make you look like an entertainer extraordinaire.

My husband bought me the Ravioli class for my birthday in September so I thought it would be fun for us to do the class on his birthday today! From the moment Carlotta came on the screen we knew we were in good hands! She was organized, laid back, encouraging and so much fun to cook with. My husband and I took the class seriously because we love to cook and really wanted to learn. Everything came out incredible! So much so that my mother and brother came over after and we tau… See More

What an amazing experience! Through a little online research, I found The Chef and The Dish for my foodie husband’s 50th birthday. There are so many delicious courses offered. He decided on the pasta making class with Ravioli and Tortellini. The first step was a prep class the weekend before with the Kitchen Assistant. She went over the ingredient list, tools needed, made sure our Skype was working, and asked a lot of questions about our background… See More

The Chef & The Dish fell nothing short of phenomenal. Such a personal and authentic experience! Chef Carlotta, our lovely guide, showed us around Naples in such a beautiful way! We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The food was outstanding, as was the wine and the company. Absolutely recommend this for anyone who loves good food and having fun in the kitchen. It made us beginners feel like total professionals. We will keep this with us forever!

Riley Dandy

We had such a fun and engaging experience making ravioli and tortellini with Chef Carlotta this weekend. She was amazing - instructive, clear, fun and it was a riot to be taking directions in my own kitchen! The recipes were great and the pasta turned out so delicious we wanted to eat it all up at once! We had so many laughs and it was truly a memorable way to spend a Sunday. Delicious! Thanks for such a fun time !!!
