At each class students will attend, the chef Armando Risa will prepare a starter, a plate of pasta, a main course consisting of meat or fish and a dessert. Please arrive with an empty stomach since you will be privileged to taste each plate that the chef will have prepared!

With the chef Armando Risa’s cooking classes, choosing your day-to-day ingredients at your local grocery store as well as maximizing their nutritive values will have never been easier. Soon, you will discover that eating healthy tasty food at home doesn’t necessarily mean you become a “cordon bleu” to do so!

Please note that all recipes as well as the ingredients are given during each class, but that personal notes need to be taken in order to complete the class. A little note book, as well as a pen would be useful.
