From beloved grandma’s meatballs to crispy bruschetta, all the way to my favorite dish: a potato and onion quiche with a secret ingredient. You’ll learn the recipes I always use to make every occasion feel special. We’ll also prepare a light breaded cod with potatoes or a fresh salad, to ensure a perfect balance of flavors. By the end of the class, you’ll have mastered my favorite dishes and gained the confidence to impress your guests whenever you like. I can’t wait to cook with you!

- We had a wonderful time at a cooking class in Margherita’s home, learning to make fettuccine, ravioli, and tiramisu from scratch. The experience was fun, and she explained each step clearly. Everything we made was delicious, especially the ravioli, and it felt special to enjoy the meal together in such a welcoming setting. Our group had 6 people, and it didn’t feel like we were strangers by the end of our meal. We would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a intimate and memorable culinary experience.
- Our family of six, all teenagers/young adults, loved this night with Chef Margarita! Margarita was fun, engaging and prepared with snacks and drinks upon arrival. We have done a few cooking classes in various countries/towns and this was our kids favorite. Casual yet interactive and the food was delicious!

- Margherita was warm, inviting and engaging. She is very well spoken and personable. She was attentive to our needs and demonstrated the processes clearly. She is very intelligent and fun. We felt right at home in her home. She took much time and attention to details for the session. We absolutely loved meeting her; cooking with her and sharing the dining experience with her.

Where
Margherita
Cesarina from 2024Location: Como (CO) Languages: Italian and EnglishSince I was a child, I have always loved cooking, spending hours in my grandmothers' kitchens and learning all their secrets. This passion has become more than a hobby; it is my way of sharing love and creating special moments. Even during university, I would invite friends over for hearty dinners and unforgettable evenings. My cooking style is a blend of influences from my two grandmothers: Southern Italian flavors and Milanese traditions, combined with tastes discovered through travel and living abroad. The result is a "Nonna-style" – generous, comforting portions with a modern and healthy twist. I put love into every dish, combining tradition and innovation to create meals that make people feel at home while offering something new. For me, cooking is the perfect way to bring people together, create precious memories, and celebrate the beauty of the flavors I have encountered on my journey.
