About this tour
This call talks through two Roman dishes, supplì and carciofi alla romana, from my own kitchen. We cover shaping the rice around the cheese and trimming the artichokes for a slow cook, with time for your own questions throughout. It is a cooking conversation rather than a filmed walk.
We talk over Google Meet while I work through both dishes at my own pace, answering questions as they come up rather than following a script. Afterwards I send a short note with both methods written out.
This suits anyone who wants to cook Roman food rather than only eat it out. It also works well booked alongside a walking session in Monti.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Rome: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
