Gluten-Free Cooking Class in Rome

Gluten-Free Roman Feast Cooking Class with Chef Christian

A hands-on Italian kitchen experience designed for every palate, without compromise.


This gluten-free cooking class in Rome invites you into a warm, professional kitchen where Chef Christian, a seasoned restaurateur and certified sommelier, guides you through a full Italian menu crafted entirely without gluten. The session blends technique, tradition, and genuine Roman hospitality into a single unforgettable afternoon.

Chef Christian brings decades of culinary and wine expertise to the table, making this class accessible to complete beginners and confident home cooks alike. His teaching style is relaxed, precise, and rooted in authentic Roman kitchen culture.

You will prepare and eat everything you cook, accompanied by a selection of wines and still water. The atmosphere is convivial, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the recipes are designed to be recreated at home long after the class ends.

Rome's culinary identity runs deeper than pasta and pizza, and this class reflects that richness through dishes that honor local tradition while remaining entirely gluten-free. Every ingredient is carefully sourced to ensure quality without sacrificing flavor or authenticity.

Take home all recipes so you can recreate every dish in your own kitchen with confidence.

Class Itinerary

1
Welcome and Kitchen Introduction

Chef Christian greets the group, walks you through the kitchen setup, and introduces the gluten-free philosophy behind each dish on the menu. You will receive an apron and a brief overview of the ingredients and tools prepared for the session.

2
Roman Starters: Zucchini Blossoms and Sage Leaves

You will prepare gluten-free batter from scratch and stuff zucchini blossoms with fresh mozzarella and anchovies before frying them to a golden crisp. Battered sage leaves are prepared alongside as a traditional Roman accompaniment.

3
Fresh Pasta: Fettuccine Alfredo and Pesto Trofie

Working with gluten-free dough, you will hand-roll fettuccine and learn the original technique behind the true Alfredo sauce, which uses only butter and Parmigiano Reggiano. You will also prepare pesto trofie, shaping the pasta by hand and blending a fresh basil pesto from whole ingredients.

4
Roman Tiramisu Assembly

Chef Christian demonstrates the Roman approach to tiramisu, which differs subtly but meaningfully from other Italian regional versions. You will layer the dessert yourself using gluten-free ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and freshly brewed espresso.

5
Shared Meal and Wine Pairing

The group sits together to enjoy everything prepared during the class, accompanied by a selection of wines chosen by Chef Christian based on the dishes. This is an unhurried, convivial moment to reflect on the techniques learned and ask any remaining questions.
