Contact Page - Italian Cooking Classes in Sardinia

Centro Mediterraneo Pintadera, Sardinia:
Pintadera is a small Italian language school located in a quiet and picturesque alley of the old town of Alghero in Sardinia. Welcoming and relaxing, the school offers the perfect atmosphere for learning the Italian language and gaining a unique insight into Sardinian culture. We take language out of the classroom and onto the streets of Alghero. All five senses are activated during the learning process – not only do you listen and speak, but you eat, sleep and breathe Sardinia.

Italian Cooking Classes:
Pintadera is proud to offer Italian cooking classes in collaboration with the young Master Chef: Cristiano Andreini of the acclaimed restaraunt, Ristorante Andreini, located in the historic center of Alghero.

Time permitting, in the morning the participants of the afternoon's cooking session go to the market place together to do the shopping. In the afternoon, the cooking session begins with a 30 minute classroom period where the menu of the day is studied with discussions of ingredients, cooking techniques, and kitchen strategies. Thereafter, the class proceeds to Trattoria Al Refettorio, a restaraunt immediately below the school, where the meals are cooked under the Chef's careful eye and with his personable encouragement.

Students will prepare a simple "Sugo al Pomodoro" or a "Pesto of garlic and basil" where Chef Cristiano will demonstrate beforehand the importance and skill of selecting genuine fresh native products. Traditional entree selections such as "Ossobuco con Risotto alla Milanese" and "Lasagna al Forno" with traditional desserts such as "Tiramisu" will be demonstrated.

The class size is strictly limited to 6 students and class menus are influenced according to student tastes and preferences. After the meal is cooked, the students and Chef sit down together to enjoy their dishes.
