Paula was a perfect host and we all had a great time and learned a lot. She took time to give us a tour of her local markets and also shared some history of Parma (a very nice, small city). We then went to her home for the hands-on cooking class and meal. It was a fabulous experience that we highly recommend to anyone who wants to add a personal touch to their vacation.

This was such a lovely experience! It was a whirlwind of a morning, both she and her husband have an incredible amount of (welcoming) energy. I felt very welcomed into their home, and it was delightful watching her run into her friends and chatting while we were out going to the market—it gave a real sense of community. I also ran into her the next day on the street, and she was lovely and friendly to me then as well.
Highly recommend!

We had such an incredible time discovering the Parma markets and cooking with Cristina and her husband. They were fantastic hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time in their beautiful kitchen!

Canceled 2 days prior. Only in the city for 2 days. Left me without a tour that day. Don’t offer it if you can’t do the class.

The experience involved a short walking tour around Parma and insights regarding the local food markets and important landmarks. The cooking experience was exceptional. Paula and her husband Marco are wonderful people and I was privileged to be invited in to their lovely home for the afternoon.
