Get ready for a special Tuscan risotto cooking class where you'll learn to make two amazing dishes that really capture the taste of Italy from celebrated international chef, Davide Cerretini. This is not just about an opportunity to cook and learn; it's also a chance to meet a chef whose unique story has had a huge impact on the hospitality industry in the USA. A larger-than-life character known for his humor and innovative thinking, his classes are always entertaining, informative, and one-of-a-kind.
With a delicious glass of Prosecco in hand, you'll get started by cooking a risotto with leeks, asparagus, saffron, and a bit of lemon zest. This dish is all about getting the balance of flavors just right - the fresh taste of asparagus, the unique flavor of saffron, and a zesty touch of lemon. You'll be shown how to cook it so it's perfectly creamy and each ingredient stands out.
Then, you'll move onto making a risotto with Porcini mushrooms, a smooth truffle cream, and sharp pecorino cheese. This one's a rich mix of hearty mushrooms, the luxurious taste of truffle, and the strong flavor of the cheese. You'll learn how to turn these simple ingredients into a really impressive dish.
All the essentials for this class are provided, so there's no need for you to bring anything except a notebook and pen, if you wish, and some Tupperware in case there are leftovers! Ingredients, one glass of high-quality Italian wine perfectly paired for the risotto, and one complementary glass of Prosecco when you arrive are provided, but feel free to bring any additional drinks or extra bottles of wine that you'd like.
The classes take place in a welcoming private residence in the picturesque town of West Malling, Kent. The area is beautiful to visit for the day if you'd like to come early and stroll around the charming medieval town or visit nearby Leeds Castle. There is a train station 12 minutes' walk from the house with direct trains from Victoria, Waterloo, or Charing Cross (approx. 50 mins travel time), but there is also plenty of paid parking in the streets nearby with driving from central London taking around an hour.
To start the session, we'll welcome you with a lovely glass of Prosecco. During the class, you'll be learning, sipping a beautiful Italian wine, and eating the food that Chef Davide will explain and show you how to make. After the class, you'll receive an email copy of the recipe, allowing you to recreate your culinary creation at home.
Embark on this exclusive Tuscan risotto cooking class for an unforgettable culinary experience where the warmth of Italy's flavors meets the artistry of your own hands. Elevate your cooking skills, tantalize your taste buds, and savor the magic of Tuscan gastronomy in every delectable bite. Buon appetito!
(Please be aware that for corporate events or larger parties exceeding 6 guests, we will arrange a separate venue. Additional costs will apply for kitchen rental, extra staff, and corkage fees. For more information, please contact us for further details.)
Please note:
Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we'll cancel the class;
in this case we'll inform you and allow you to get a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

Hi, my name is Davide Cerretini, also known as 'The One Star Chef'. I'm a native of Tuscany and spent the last 30 years in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where I had a long career as a chef and restauranteur. I have experience in the entertainment business, as I have appeared in TV shows, such as The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, starred in a movie, as well as being interviewed countless times across radio and TV internationally.
The food I cook is 100% authentically Tuscan, learned from my family growing up in the countryside of Italy. Throughout my career I have focused on preserving the flavours and ancient techniques of that region without compromise. I am very passionate about the stories behind the dishes and how simple ingredients prepared in the right way can be so much more satisfying and flavourful than elaborate and complex recipes.
My classes are relaxed, humorous and full of storytelling. You will learn tips and tricks that I picked up while growing up in Tuscany, and never forgot.
I love to share my secrets with beginners, but also with more skilled chefs that haven't had the opportunity to experience the unique way of cooking that you only find in Tuscany.
My goal is to create a friendly atmosphere with relaxing interaction, all orbiting around delicious food, wine, stories and learning.
