Saffron dyeing the rice gold, butter slowly melting, full and enveloping aromas. Here, Milanese cuisine tells a story of elegance, balance, and tradition, born in the kitchens of bourgeois homes and on the tables of Italy's most refined city.
Guided by a chef, you will enter a professional kitchen to work on some of Milan's iconic dishes.
