Service Description
Nestled comfortably between Germany, Italy, and France, Swiss cuisine is a magnificent melting pot of influences, refined over centuries into something uniquely its own. From the hearty sausages and roasts of the German-speaking north to the delicate pastas and risottos of the Italian-inspired south, and the rich sauces of the French-speaking west, Switzerland offers a delicious tour of Europe. This diversity is also deeply regional, with the country's language divisions creating a rough boundary for its distinct culinary landscapes. Our "Swiss Classics" class invites you to explore the rustic and satisfying dishes that are the true cornerstone of Swiss home cooking. Inspired by this rich tapestry of influences and the country's own alpine traditions, these recipes represent generations of adaptation and comfort. You’ll craft the ultimate golden and crispy Rösti, explore the rich, creamy layers of Älplermagronen (our beloved Alpine macaroni with cheese), and learn the secrets to a perfectly tender Zürcher Geschnetzeltes. In addition to cooking, we will uncover the stories behind the recipes and learn about various other Swiss specialties which you will try.
