Your experience
Pasta frolla, sponge cake, and sponge dough are the foundation of any dessert. I will teach you the basics and then guide you to create more elaborate sweets. With shortcrust pastry, you can make various types of tarts, sweet or savory; sponge cake can be used for filled cakes with pastry cream or chocolate, and sponge dough can be crafted into fruity or jam-filled rolls. A foundational course that will unleash your creativity in the kitchen!

- Gabriella had already precooked some dishes, which was fantastic because we only had to finish the dish while she ecplained the tips and tricks. Lovely italian dishes, great place with wonderful view over the lake, highly recommended!
- Three girlfriends and I had dinner with Gabriella and her husband. What a fun night with many laughs and learning. She taught us how to make risotto and other Italian cooking tips, but we enjoyed four courses including wine and dessert. Awesome experience and would highly recommend an evening with this wonderful couple!!
- Gabriella and Fausto were wonderful, kind and gracious hosts. They were very accommodating, made us a delicious dinner with wine and taught us about Italian food and cooking. We will always remember this experience!
- Gabriella and Fausto welcomed us into their home in the beautiful town of Vabeno. Gabriella considered our dietary requests and made a delicious dinner like we had never had before! They were very friendly, and we had a lovely conversation with many laughs. It was an unforgettable experience!
- Gabriella & her partner Fausto were incredible. The meal was delicious, the education was top tier, & the wine was wonderful. They were very accommodating as we brought our 2 month old baby with us! It felt like being at home and cooking a wonderful meal with an old friend. Gabriella is an excellent teacher and we cannot wait to recreate the recipe she shared with us back home. The next time we’re around Lake Maggiore, we’ll definitely book another class! Best part of our trip to the area.
