How to choose a virtual online Italian cooking class on Zoom

 




A virtual Italian cooking class is a great way to get together with friends and family who live far away from you and you don't get to see very often. A Zoom Italian cooking party is also a wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion, such as birthdays, anniversaries and other significant life events. 

Over this past year, the number of live virtual cooking classes has multiplied and it seems the market it's flooded with seemingly good offers. Choosing a live, virtual Italian cooking class that's right for you is not easy. So, how do you choose a virtual online Italian Cooking Class on Zoom?

1) Experience. First of all, it's good to look for a cooking school with many years of experience in giving cooking classes in person. This will make your Zoom Italian cooking class online a smooth and relaxed experience that will make you feel like you are cooking together with your teacher/chef, interacting and engaging in a friendly and comfortable manner.

2) Is the Teacher/Chef Italian, and living in Italy? When choosing a virtual online Italian cooking class on Zoom, it's important to select a native Italian teacher/chef that was born and grew up in Italy and speaks clear English. There is no substitute for the authenticity that only comes with being born and living in Italy, surrounded by its culinary traditions and cultural experiences everyday. 

3) Professionalism, awards and reviews. Another great way to choose a virtual online Italian cooking class on Zoom is noticing the care that's taken in responding to your enquiry quickly, thoroughly and professionally, as your first impressions count. Checking a cooking school's awards and reviews on Google, Trip Advisor and Social Media helps you understand the experience that previous guests have had. It is also a good idea to read how the cooking school responded to the reviews.

At Convivio Rome, we have been running Italian cooking classes in central Italy near Rome for 16 years. We started offering virtual online Italian cooking classes on Zoom since March 2020. As soon as we started, we transferred all our in person experience online. Our aim is to quickly make our guests feel comfortable and feel like they are part of a real-life cooking experience and welcomed into our Italian family home. 

Here is what a recent cooking class guests wrote about her virtual online Italian cooking class experience:

"Hi Sally and Chef Guido, Thank you again for such a wonderful cooking experience. We had "chefs" of all different experience levels in our party and each one had a great time following along with Chef Guido! Those who were nervous to tackle such a traditional italian dish quickly became comfortable due to how welcoming you two are. You have mastered the "art of zoom" and love that you all go the extra mile to ensure everyone is at the right step and nobody is left behind. I know the ladies appreciated how comfortable it was to ask questions throughout. I am certainly looking forward to making this again in the future! 

See us again soon! 
All my best, Taylor"
