Enter the home of your chef in Modena and enjoy an amazinghands-on cooking class followed by a convivial lunch with him. If Italy was a home, Modena would be its kitchen. Here, on the flat plains of the slow-flowing Po, lies one of the nation's great gastronomic centers, the creative force behind real balsamic vinegar, giant tortellini-stuffed with tantalizing fillings, sparkling Lambrusco wine and backstreets crammed with some of the best restaurants no one's ever heard of.

Learn to prepare handmade pasta and other dishes with your host, a gastronome and Italian cuisine lover. For those with bleached taste buds, the city has another equally lauded legacy: cars. The famous Ferrari museum is situated in the nearby village of Maranello and you can enjoy the visit in the morning and meeting your Chef around lunchtime! Your host has refined a menu of Emilia specialties, using products and raw materials from the local market. Get ready to learn some of the secrets of Italian cuisine.

Once your work is finished, you and the chef will enjoy the dishes you prepared.
