TESTIMONIAL
The real experience of ALMA learners, in the words of the culinary professionals who have been there, and done that.
ALMA was an amazing opportunity for me to learn and be exposed to authentic regional Italian cooking. My experience at ALMA was irreplaceable. It was truly unique, and I felt lucky every day to be there. I tried to soak up as many details as possible, and taste as much as I could. Memory informs so much of what we do as chefs, so paying attention and tasting everything was very important for me. ALMA exposes students to the true essence of Italian cooking.

While I was holding the position of Head Butcher at Marriott Vasilevsky, I heard about ALMA from a couple of my Italian colleagues. They mentioned that ALMA was the best Italian school. That piece of advice was what made me choose to study here. I achieved a great understanding of the Italian food culture, lifestyle, eating preferences and wines. Furthermore, I gained deeper knowledge about ingredients, techniques and cooking methods.

The course is very well structured, many different kinds of classes make you become a complete professional, someone that is aware not only of what to do in a kitchen but also of the reason why you should do that and not something else. As part of my experience, I have had the opportunity to learn in professional, real-world kitchens. I would definitely recommend ALMA to anyone asking, for the quality of everything that is part of the experience.
