Details

In Italy, language is learned at the table.

We speak while we cook.
We correct while we taste.
We share while we eat.

The Language Cooking Lab is an immersive evening where complete beginners learn the fundamentals of Italian while preparing an authentic Italian dish; tonight will be Pasta alla Carbonara β€” guided by an Italian professional chef with a background in language teaching.

This is not a lecture.
This is not a demonstration.

It is hands-on, voice-on, pan-on.

## La Carbonara β€” The Roman Way

We prepare Carbonara as it is done in Rome:

  • Guanciale
  • Eggs
  • Pecorino Romano
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Pasta

No cream. No shortcuts.

You will learn:

  • Proper timing and temperature control
  • How to create the creamy texture without scrambling
  • The cultural story behind the dish

Carbonara is simple.
Simplicity requires precision.

## What You Will Learn

Designed for complete beginners.

You will practice:

  • Italian pronunciation basics
  • Essential greetings and introductions
  • Core kitchen vocabulary
  • Action verbs in real time
  • Simple useful sentences

You will not memorize long lists.
You will speak while stirring.

Movement builds memory.
