    This was such a fun experience. I was made to feel comfortable and created delicious food under the guidance of Sylvia.
    A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE EXPLORING THE MARKET AND COOKING WITH CARLA
    Faye S, Sep 2019
    My day visiting the Lucca shops and market and cooking with Carla was my best day in Lucca. She was very knowledgeable, a great cook, a patient teacher and a wonderful host. It was fantastic to be able to go into her home and cook with her. We did so much,a great ragu and home made pasta some amazing chicken liver pate, crostini and tiramisu to finish off. I also learnt a lot just in general conversation so if you do this experience ask questions. Carla treated me to some wonderful very cold Italian prosecco. I can certainly recommend an experience with Carla.
