Client Testimonial
"UMBRIAN COOKING CLASSES "
"We attended two different cooking classes in Umbria. Thanks to Active Gourmet, the instructors had coordinated their menus so that we learned completely different dishes in each course. The food was fantastic; the instructors informative, patient and great fun; and, recipes will pay dividends for many years. My family and friends insist the Tiramisu I learned to make is the best they\'ve ever tasted! "

Whether you are an experienced cook or just passionate about good Italian food, learn to cook authentic Italian dishes in a fun and friendly atmosphere with Chefs Tiziana and Zoila. They offer hands-on cooking courses in English that range from one-day classes to longer courses. Chef Zoila is bilingual having lived and worked in the United States for many years. A love for good food and cooking, and the desire to encourage people to visit and appreciate the beauties of Umbria is what led to the creation of Zoila's and Tiziana's cooking lessons. They both come from a long tradition of hospitality in the travel industry as well as in the restaurant field.
Learn to cook with an Italian family who will show you the secrets of Umbrian cuisine. Cristina, your hostess, has been conducting cooking courses since 1999 at a nearby villa but has restored her eighteenth century country house and is now inviting guests to her home for day cooking classes or residential cooking programs. 
Spend time at a beautiful country home in the heart of Umbria (Perugia). The farm dates back to the 17th century and is surrounded by rolling hills, 10 hectares of olive groves, vineyards, fruit trees and Etruscan and medieval history. Six independent apartments have been restored around the ancient stone house and all are beautifully decorated.
