Italian Cooking Classes in London
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A GOURMET EXPERIENCE
More than just about food, our cooking classes are a unique experience, different from others. The food is of course delicious but what’s even more important for us is that people have a wonderful time cooking and eating it. We always love seeing strangers from all corners chit chatting next to each other at our kitchen table, comparing notes on their favourite Italian restaurants or sharing stories of their last trip to Italy ♥️
For us the best meals don’t happen in restaurants, they happen in homes and we hope in our home we will inspire you and give you the confidence to whirl around in your own kitchen and be a creator too.
Come join in the joy.

What makes this Notting Hill course so unique is that before the cooking it's the shopping. You will meet at Portobello Road market, which is a vibrant and bustling melange of stalls selling food produce from all over the world.
-
In this lovely class, we will start with a 1 hour shopping tour of the famous Portobello Market showing you our favourite shops and stalls in Notting Hill.
From discovering new cuts of meat to learning how to select the freshest fish, we will select the best quality ingredients in order to create dishes together, taking inspiration from what is fresh and seasonal at the market.
Once settled in back at our kitchen with our bags of produce and fresh herbs, we will create a feast of Italian dishes that use a few well chosen ingredients, cooked with simplicity and brought to the table with gusto, all whilst enjoying chit-chat around the kitchen island.

We have a no refund policy. Cancellations must be made at least 3 weeks before the date you booked. If you cancel your booking with a 3 week notice you will be able to book another class in a year from the date of your payment (or from the issue of the gift voucher) without penalty. If you cancel with a shorter notice than 3 weeks you will be allowed to book another class only upon payment of a cancellation fee which amounts to 35% of the price of the class. If you cancel within 1 week of your class, you will not be able to book another class and there will not be a refund.
We require a minimum of 8 participants per class and reserve the right to cancel the class due to insufficient enrolment or if the school needs to postpone due to an unforeseen occurrence. We will, at your convenience, transfer you onto another course; if this option does not suit, you will receive a full refund. In this case, you will be informed at least 24 hours before the class.
A SMALL NOTE REGARDING ALLERGENS
At Enrica Rocca Cookery School, we prioritise allergen awareness and strive to accommodate ingredient substitutions. Despite our efforts, we must inform you that our family-style kitchen environment presents inherent risks of cross-contamination, and as such, we cannot guarantee complete allergen isolation during your experience with us.
