One-day Classes Overview

This class was the highlight of our vacation. Chef Barbara is extremely knowledgeable about food, food pairing and the history of Italian cuisine. The menu we prepared was authentic, the meeting place interesting and available ingredients were very fresh. I would recommend The International Kitchen and Chef Barbara to anyone. I have already shared much of this adventure with many friends and family. Thank you so much. --Kindest regards, Lara & Andrew M., WA (Cooking class in Florence with Barbara Desderi).

If you are traveling to Italy, France or Spain but find you don’t have time for a full culinary vacation, we also offer one-day cooking classes a la carte. Whether your travels take you to Tuscany, Provence, the Amalfi Coast, Barcelona, or any of our other many locations, we can help you find a cooking class that will make your vacation unforgettable. Our cooking classes are generally about 3 hours long and include the preparation of a multi-course meal, which you enjoy with wine at the end of the lesson. Many also include a visit to a local food market where you can savor the colors and flavors not only of fresh local produce but also of authentic local life. Prices range from $125 to $275 per person, and the cooking classes can generally be confirmed for as few as two people. If you are a solo traveler, give us a call and we can discuss which classes we have already confirmed for your travel dates.

For more information on the one-day cooking classes we offer, please consult the One-day Classes page for Italy, France and Spain. If you need help deciding which class might work best for you, please write or call, we’d be happy to discuss your options. If you are ready to book, our booking form is available online. Please remember that if you have more than one option for your class date, the class will be easier to confirm.
