Cooking Classes with Veronality

The idea to create online cooking classes was born from the desire of staying together. We thought that the best way to satisfy this need was to do it in the Italian way: cooking. Our team of local chefs thought that in this uncertain time was necessary to focus on what is stable and certain: our food traditions that are part of our culture.

Before this crisis they shared every day their knowledge with people coming from all over the world, showing them the same things their grandma taught them and leading them to discover the incredible gastronomic culture of our country. Now, during this difficult time, they don’t want to stop to spread their passion and so we decided to create these online experiences.

During these activities the participants have the possibility not only to learn how to make some traditional recipes but also to e-meet new people coming from all over the world and share with them their passion for the good food.

These online classes are for a small group of maximum 10 people so the chefs can have a one-to-one interaction, talk directly to the participants and personalise the experience.

We designed these classes starting from the specialisation of each chef: Cristina was born in Verona and she’s a professional Chef and Sommelier. She wrote some books about Italian cuisine which are focused on traditional dishes; Alex is Spanish expert chef and he lives in Verona. He’s passionate and he’s expert about traditional Spanish dishes like Paella and Tapas.

As the tradition says, the best meal is home-cooked! So we thought to offer different activities to give the possibility to choose between different recipes, more simple or more challenging, depending on the interests: Online Ravioli fresh pasta class, Online Risotto making class; Online Basil Pesto with Trofie pasta class; Online authentic Tiramisu making class, Online Spanish Tapas class and Online Spanish Paella making class.

Our online cooking classes are available once or twice a week at different times to let people leaving in different time zones to access easily.

  • The Online Ravioli fresh pasta cooking class is available on Thursday at 9:30 AM and Saturday at 5:00 PM (UTC + 2 time)
  • The Online Risotto making class is available on Tuesday at 10:00 PM and Friday at 5:00 PM (UTC + 2 time)
  • The Basil Pesto and Trofie pasta class is available on Thursday at 5:00 PM (UTC + 2 time)
  • The Tiramisu making class is available on Wednesday at 5:00 PM and Saturday at 9:30 AM (UTC + 2 time) Th
  • Spanish Tapas class is available on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:00 PM (UTC + 2 time)
  • The Spanish Paella class is available on Sunday at 11:00 AM (UTC + 2 time)

Cost: The price for these online activities is €19 per person and they are available on our website in the “online experiences” section.

After the year we’ve had we all need something to look forward to! Eating well and looking after ourselves but still feeling indulgent and fun has to be the order of the day – and a little bit of Christmas cheer certainly won’t go amiss in the Cook Folk kitchen.

Join Cook Folk founder Louisa Chapman-Andrews for a 90 minute festive entertaining workshop creating comforting yet healthy Christmas dishes to help ring in the festive season and help blow away the cobwebs of 2020 past…

Whether it’s a pared down occasion or a full family riot, you still want food that looks impressive and feels special, but that you can pull together in moments to create show stopping dishes fit for the big day and the wonderful days in the run up to it all.

The festive workshop will showcase the best that’s in season, demonstrating fresh new ways to use these wonderful ingredients in versatile recipes that can be adapted for any occasion; whether (virtual!) canapés parties, cozy suppers or Christmas Day accompaniments.

The workshop will:

  • Show you fresh ways to prepare and cook seasonal ingredients that will help to transform your home cooking.
  • Raise your ingredients knowledge so you can confidently celebrate the freshness of new season produce; parsnips, brussel’s, horseradish, chestnuts, cranberries, clementines, pomegranates, to name but a few

  • Help you rediscover ways to shop, plan, cook and entertain to make cooking a genuine joy.
  • Notes, recipes and guidance will be sent ahead of the session so you can immerse yourself before the workshop begins.

As Cook Folk workshops are action packed and filled with content, it is not recommended that participants attempt to cook along. Much better to get comfortable with a cup of tea and your notes and let Louisa do all the hard work!

Get a certificate of completion after having taken all of the classes and quizzes. Desserts should make you feel amazing. Desserts are something wonderful, aren’t they?

They brighten up our days and complete these special moments when we’re sitting together with our loved ones around the dinner table.

Desserts should be sweet, elegant and playful. They should comfort you and allow you to enjoy the beauty of any momentDesserts connect us with each other. There is nothing sweeter than sharing a homemade chocolate brownie with your loved ones and seeing the joy brighten up their eyes.

Desserts should be fun. You should enjoy making them, eating them, and sharing them. But often, that’s not the case. We do feel a little guilty about desserts.

We believe that desserts aren’t healthy, we tell ourselves we shouldn’t eat them. Most people instantly think of sugar, whipped cream, butter and eggs when they hear the word desserts…

And it’s easy to see why…The traditional way of preparing desserts is neither healthy nor vegan. And they leave us feeling bloated, tired and not fully satisfied. So… is it even possible to make delicious and healthy vegan desserts? Luckily, we have good news for you.

Kitchen. Table. Family.
At Raddish, we’re on a mission to deliver culinary experiences that nurture kids’ confidence in the kitchen and beyond. Our recipe is simple but revolutionary: take the goodness of a home-cooked meal and mix in education, family time, and fun.

The kitchen is the tastiest place to learn
We believe kids who cook, eat; that cooking is the foundation for a healthy, wholesome life! We believe in the power of food to bring families together, to build communities, to expand conversation, and to strengthen relationships.

Our monthly kits are designed to make learning come alive by mixing math, simmering science, tasting history, and so much more.
