Enjoy a healthy, hearty boost at one of our Italian cooking classes

With rich olive oil, creamy sauces, delicious cheeses and copious amounts of carbs, Italian cuisine may not be the first one that comes to mind when you're on the hunt for healthy things to cook up at a foodie experience in London. However, studies show that a well-balanced Mediterranean diet adopted by people in Italy is amongst the healthiest in the world! This is all thanks to a good dose of healthy fats from oil and fish, and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

As always, homemade food tends to be the heartiest and healthiest way to go - so making things from scratch is always the best way to ensure you’re getting all the delicious nutrients you need – minus the bad stuff you don’t. With that in mind, an Italian class at one of London's cooking schools could be perfect if you want to learn how to make your own Italian-inspired food at home minus the added salts and sugars you’ll often find in shop-bought sauces. 

Discover the time-honoured techniques of pasta making and pizza throwing, learn how to make a simple tomato sauce with just a few healthy ingredients, or go rogue with a ravishing ravioli or risotto. Using fresh, quality ingredients is the key to Italian cooking – so often the basic recipes and techniques required are refreshingly simple. Italian cuisine is loved by everyone, so you’re sure to impress your friends and family with your new-found cooking skills!
