Blue Zones of Sardinia: Rustic Longevity Cooking Class

Step into the rustic kitchens of Sardinia with this beginners cooking class in Culver City!



3 hours Location Culver City Class size 1 to 18 guests   $135
Step into the rustic kitchens of Sardinia — one of the world’s original Blue Zones — and explore the slow, nourishing traditions behind one of the most talked-about longevity cuisines in the world.
In this immersive hands-on cooking class, students will prepare a traditional Sardinian-style minestrone using nutritious dried beans, seasonal vegetables, herbs, and olive oil the old-fashioned way — no canned shortcuts. We’ll also work with naturally leavened rustic bread inspired by Sardinian country baking traditions while learning approachable techniques for fermentation, dough handling, and flavor development.
More than a “healthy cooking” class, this evening explores the broader Blue Zone philosophy: gathering around the table, cooking in community, slowing down, and creating meals rooted in simplicity, pleasure, and connection.
Researchers studying Sardinia found that longevity in these mountain communities appears tied not only to food, but also to movement, friendship, purpose, and shared meals — many of the same experiences recreated in a communal cooking class.
Students will enjoy a rustic Mediterranean menu featuring:
Traditional Sardinian Blue Zone Minestrone with soaked beans
Naturally Leavened Rustic Country Bread
Bitter Greens Salad with Italian Pine Nuts & Shaved Pecorino
Seasonal Fruit Crostata
Chef prepared whipped mascarpone cream
Whether you’re interested in rustic Italian cooking, fermentation, Mediterranean flavors, or simply creating a more intentional relationship with food, this class offers practical skills and an unforgettable evening around the table.
