Full day cooking class in Portobello Market, London (FOR GROUPS ONLY - MIN 6 MAX 10)

Each day with Enrica is different... the menu of the day will depend on the exceptional ingredients you find as you shop in London’s gastronomic hubs.

Knowing where to go for your ingredients is as important as knowing what to do with them. We will compare the up-market shopping of Kensington Whole Foods store to the strings of stalls lining the famous Portobello Road market to discover why you don’t have to pay top dollar for top quality products. Portobello market is real, honest and true, London street-shopping at its best. Here we will find some of the city’s most interesting, tasty and fresh ingredients purveyed by the friendly and obliging traders at excellent prices.

Once all the food has been bought, you will head back to Enrica’s beautifully designed kitchen that is perfect for cooking classes and provides a great atmosphere for learning. You will learn to make delicious dishes with the food you bought during the morning, and just as importantly, they'll be dishes that you can easily replicate at home.

• 9am - Meet Enrica at the Whole Foods store on Kensington High Street for a tour of the specialist counters. You will then walk to Portobello Road market.

Enrica Rocca is known as ‘The Cooking Contessa’ and Gourmet Magazine rated her eponymous cookery school as one of the top ten schools in the world.

Born in Venice, The Financial Times has described Enrica as “an Italian cook of note and a flamboyant and passionate chef and restaurateur…She has Italian cooking in her blood and a contagious zest for life and food…”

The plaudits are as endless as Enrica’s passion for food and her pleasure in sharing this with others. As well as running a successful cookery school in London, Enrica runs classes in Venice in the lively ambiance of her large kitchen and entertaining space located inside her family Palazzo from the 1800’s
