Who we are
We are Italy’s first nationwide community of local home cooks. Our mission is to safeguard Italy’s food culture through home cooking. Since 2004, we’ve been organising authentic culinary experiences in hundreds of local homes all over Italy. Our experiences create a genuine connection between curious travelers and welcoming Italians, showcasing the very best of Italy through food and friendship. In 2019, we were named as an official Slow Food Community.
What we do
Italy is world-famous for its cuisine, but few travellers get to experience the real deal. Connecting with locals gives you the chance to engage with the culture of a place first-hand, together with the people who know it best. Our authentic food experiences let you dive into local life through food, including traditional lunches and dinners, hands-on cooking classes and immersive market tours, which take place in towns and cities throughout Italy. As every experience is tailor-made, there’s something for every food lover. We’re so proud to create unforgettable moments for thousands of people on their travels.
