What To Expect

Step into the inviting Orlando kitchen of David, a Culinary Institute of America-trained chef who grew up in an Italian-American family where cooking was a cherished tradition. Inspired by Sunday feasts at his great grandmother’s home, David brings his family’s recipes and culinary heritage to life in this hands-on Orlando cooking class. Over two hours, you’ll prepare a three-course Italian or Mediterranean meal entirely from scratch—starting with an appetizer or salad, followed by handmade pasta with sauce, and a rich entrée. Your experience finishes with a delightful dessert, crafted in advance by David to complement your meal.

David’s engaging stories and passion for Italian cuisine make every guest feel like family, blending culinary techniques with tales of tradition. With seasonal, customizable menus and a wine pairing, this class offers a delicious break from the theme park scene, letting you experience Orlando from a local’s perspective. Perfect for food lovers seeking an authentic and memorable experience!
