The room

• Group — Small home- or studio-kitchen classes, a few students per cook.
• A normal day — Hands-on from the board — dough, shaping, sauces — then sitting down to eat what you made; some include a market visit.
• Who comes — Home cooks and food-lovers, often couples and friends, mixed ages.

The credential

ALMA Diploma in Italian Cuisine / La Vecchia Scuola Bolognese Sfoglina certificate · Certifying body: ALMA — La Scuola Internazionale di Cucina Italiana (Italian Cuisine Diploma)

A recognised qualification an outside body stands behind is not the same as a certificate a school prints itself. We name which it is — you should ask the school the same.

What I check before I send you anywhere

I'm Arnaud. I cook for a living, and I've spent fifteen years on the water — so I know the difference between a real school and a good-looking website. I built the Atlas because I got tired of the second kind. Here is what a place has to clear before it goes on here, and what I'll tell you straight when it doesn't.

• The craft is actually alive there. A working scene, with people who do this every day — not a demo put on for visitors.
• There's a real teacher behind it. Named, still practising, and certified where the craft has certificates.
• The credential is what it claims to be. A state diploma and a certificate a school prints itself are not the same thing. I check which, and I say which.
• I tell you how sure I am. Most pages here are verified by hand. A few say "still checking" — I'd rather admit that than pretend.
• Nobody pays to be here. No commission, no selling the trip. The order on this map is the strength of the community, never the size of the wallet.
• If I wouldn't send a friend, it isn't on the map.
