Venetian cooking class in Veliko Tarnovo invites you into the lighter, more refined side of Italian cuisine, inspired by the sea and the character of Venice. In this hands-on class, you explore recipes that combine history, tradition, and a distinctly gourmet feel.

What will you cook? Guided by Chef Michele Bellotto, you prepare three dishes that represent the region in different ways. Each recipe is chosen to show you characteristic ingredients, balanced flavors, and a classic approach to cooking.

First, you make shrimp in saor, an iconic Venetian lagoon dish. The shrimp are marinated in a gentle sweet-and-sour sauce with caramelized onions, vinegar, and golden raisins for a rich, well-balanced result.

Next comes Venetian-style calf liver, a recipe known from the old fishing taverns and home kitchens of the city. You learn the technique that keeps the liver tender and juicy, while caramelized onions and a few drops of vinegar turn a familiar ingredient into a distinctive gourmet dish.

To finish, you prepare carnival fritoli, fluffy Venetian doughnuts made from an authentic recipe and finished with powdered sugar. You learn how to achieve the right texture: golden and lightly crisp on the outside, soft and fragrant inside. It is a sweet ending linked to the traditions of the famous Venetian Carnival.

How does the class work? You do not just cook during the session — you also taste everything you make. The experience takes place in a fully equipped kitchen, and all ingredients, an apron, and the necessary materials are provided. After the class, you also receive detailed recipes by email so you can recreate the dishes at home.

This is an evening of flavor, new skills, and Italian culinary inspiration. Choose a voucher for this Venetian cooking class if you want an experience that combines learning, tasting, and real practical value.
