At Ottavi you learn to cook the way it should be done: with the right techniques, fresh seasonal produce and a chef who guides you step by step. In 8 weeks you build a solid culinary foundation, from classic preparations to refined finishing touches.
Each class centres on one theme. You get the theory, watch the demonstration and then get straight to work yourself. That is how technique sticks.

Knife skills and basic techniques
Precision, speed and safety as the foundation for everything that follows.

Cold sauces
Mayonnaise and its variations, vinaigrettes, emulsions and herb oils that lift a dish at the last moment.
Fish and meat
Filleting, poaching, pan-frying, braising and finishing correctly.
Eggs

Dough and batter
Choux, shortcrust, pasta, gnocchi and dauphine.
Black Box Challenge
The final class: no recipe, no framework. You decide.
