    Wonderful experience!
    Stephanie_K, Dec 2023
    We had a wonderful time cooking with Patrizia and her son! They were incredibly warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Definitely one of our favorite parts of our trip, and the food was SO good!
    A lovely day!

    We had such a lovely day doing this cooking class! We met our chef at her home and proceeded to walk to the local market, stopping for a coffee on the way. In the market we sampled some of the local cheese and meat and then made our choices to bring back to our chef's cozy kitchen. We started with a simple meat sauce that simmered away while we prepared appetizers using the freshest tomatoes and figs, and ricotta cheese made that morning along with "the best" local salami. We then made dough and hand rolled our pasta for ricotta stuffed ravioli. We whipped up a quick, creamy tiramisu that went in the freezer to chill while we cooked the pasta and assembled the meal. Our chef was very organized and a great teacher (and spoke English) along with being a warm and friendly host. Our lunch was super delicious and we left very satisfied, having acquired some authentic, but simple enough to recreate at home, recipes along with feeling like we spent the day in the home of a good friend! Thank you!
    Highly recommended

    Patrizia was a great host and teacher. Welcomed us in to her home as if we were family and shared many of her pasta making secrets. Amazing time
