Unique things to do in Centro, Torino

Savor the secrets of Italian culinary art with a home cooking class in Turin. Let's first go to the local market to pick up fresh ingredients, immerse yourself in the local atmosphere to smell the true Turin food culture and learn how to choose the best seasonal produce. During the culinary experience you will have the opportunity to delve into the kitchen life of the Italians. I will guide you step by step in preparing and combining products according to Italian taste, discovering new techniques and methods for cooking healthy, good, saving energy and time. Depending on the season and your dietary restrictions, we will cook together different recipes, from fresh Handmade Pasta with a seasonal sauce to finish with a special dessert such as Tiramisú, Bounet or Bicerin Mousse. After cooking, we will share the meal together and you will take home a piece of true Italian culture, a new philosophy of cooking and, I hope, a new friend from Turin.

My tour is focused on the past and present beauty of Turin: its architecture, curious stories, society, lifestyle. - Why is architecture so different in just few blocks? - Is it true that natives are cold and fake? We'll be at my favorite area, the Medieval/Roman district, with its picturesque narrow streets, the market and its hidden treasures and where real people live (me too!). I suggest this tour if you want to understand the city with a NATIVE Art historian who knows many intriguing anecdotes about a less touristic face of Turin, with unique places that you couldn't otherwise find on your own or with other guides, far from the usual highlights. With a focus on the DETAILS that all tourists miss but you won't! My style's ironical, informal, interactive. Forget about the bored guides with umbrella, long lists of dates, as I want to give 100% of my attention to everyone and want you to deeply understand the city. Consider me your LOCAL witty FRIEND, not a guide! I'll share also some anecdotes of my (too much) Turinese family! ∎∎∎ DON'T BOOK IF YOU DIDN'T WRITE ME FIRST: the tour can be in four languages/times to be agreed together (NO calls, please) Write to W.App +39/3394604885: - how many people + age - dates + hours you wish - spoken languages ◉◉◉ GUARANTEED SCHEDULES: 6:00 or 9:00 PM, the most fitting, inspiring and enjoyable schedules. 2:00 PM possible at times
