Parma Cooking Classes: Cook Like a Local in an Old Town Kitchen
Real cooking, local stories, and unforgettable memories
Step into the warmth of a real Parma kitchen, where local home cooks (not chefs) welcome you for a fun and hands-on cooking experience in the heart of Parma’s charming old town—where food is culture, identity, the past and the future.
Our classes are designed for solo travelers, couples, friends and families with kids - for group inquiries, feel free to get in touch - and aim to bring people together for a meal or for the rest of their lives.
At Parma Cooking Classes, we believe cooking should be:
• Accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level
• Warm and inclusive, helping you feel at home
• A fun and informative way to dive into the culinary culture of Parma
You’ll learn how to turn fresh, simple ingredients into some of Parma’s most beloved dishes—while discovering the traditions that make Parma a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.
Each class highlights:
Healthy, traditional recipes using just 3 to 5 seasonal ingredients.
Tips on selecting top-quality local products like Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma.
The class ends with a relaxed sit-down meal, where you enjoy the food you’ve made together.
