Come to my beautiful home and live an exceptional cooking experience!

I will welcome you in my private kitchen where you’ll have the opportunity to cook traditional dishes in a relaxed, familiar environment and peek into my real life and family routine.

 

Mary working on homemade pasta during her cooking coursesYou will have the chance to pick the fresh herbs and vegetables we need for our cooking session directly from my own vegetable garden and use the best quality olive oil made from my olive trees!

Learn the secrets of the authentic Italian cuisine and its genuine ingredients and have fun with your friends while making healthy, simple and tasty recipes that you can easily reproduce back home.

Get to know the Italian and local culture through its food and wine; chat and have a glass of wine during the cooking lesson and relax while you dine.

In addition to enjoying the masterpiece you’ve just learned to prepare, once you’re back home you will be able to recreate a small piece of your holiday.

Homemade pizzaDuring the session you will make 4 tasty recipes – which depend on the day and season (homemade pasta – ravioli, tagliatelle, cavatelli – fresh tomato sauces, eggplant parmigiana, tiramisu, cantucci, etc.), all with fresh organic ingredients.

Once everything is cooked, you’ll sit around my kitchen table and enjoy your meal paired with a good wine. According to the most typical Italian tradition, an espresso will conclude this adventure.Homemade Ravioli, one of our cooking class recipes

At the end of the day you’ll receive your Italian cooking Diploma and a gift to remember this special experience. As part of our club, you’ll keep receiving our newsletter and updates on recipes, menus, tips and secrets of the Italian cuisine, and may count on our support if you need help in recreating our recipes.

We can arrange special classes and menus for vegetarians and people with food intolerances.

Lessons are in English, but if you know – or are learning – our language and want a fun way to practice it, our classes can also be held in Italian.

I’m currently unable to provide you accommodation, but I’ll be glad to help you find the best place to stay in town and to assist you during your stay.
