Learn to prepare pizza and gelato just like Italians do! <br /><br />Make pizza together with an experienced pizza chef, a pizzaiolo. You&#39;ll learn how to make tender, flexible yeast dough that stretches to almost paper-thinness, and even the trick for a flavourful yet light tomato sauce. Even if you bake pizza in your own oven, these techniques are universal and using them really makes a difference. With the pizzaiolo, you&#39;ll make your very own pizza, you&#39;ll stretch it, sauce it, bake it, slice it. It will be the best pizza you ever tasted, and you make it yourself! <br /><br />The chef will tell you why gelato is Italy&#39;s favourite dessert, while giving an insight into the gelato culture that continues to evolve. You&#39;ll get to know the basic raw ingredients, how to select the best products available according to specific principles, and you will have a presentation and tasting of some of the flavours used in gelato making. You&#39;ll also learn about the development and application of natural colours, the heating and freezing techniques and how they have different effects on ingredients. <br /><br />It is always a good day to discover the recipe for the world&#39;s most loved dessert! A booklet with recipes will guide you to cook for your friends once you get back home. And finally, get your certificate of participation!
