Swap the tourist crowds for an apron and spend the afternoon cooking in a characterful 1923 Roman cafe. In this hands-on, fully vegetarian class, a friendly local host walks you through two Italian classics from scratch.

First, you'll make gnocchi the traditional way - mixing, rolling and shaping each little dumpling by hand - then finish it with a fragrant basil pesto. Next, you'll assemble a classic tiramisu layer by layer, ready to enjoy as your dessert.

When the cooking is done, you'll sit down to savour everything you've made, accompanied by unlimited wine in a warm, convivial setting. It's a sociable, low-key experience that's perfect for food lovers, couples and curious travellers alike - and you'll leave knowing how to recreate it all back home.

Small groups keep things personal, all ingredients and equipment are provided, and no cooking experience is needed - just an appetite.
