    Starting from Piazza Bra, we will walk to Castelvecchio, where we will visit the historic pastry shop of the same name. Marta and Michele will welcome us and introduce us to the typical sweets of the Veronese tradition. We will then continue along Corso Cavour towards Porta Borsari. As we walk down the street, we will look up to spot the terrace of Palazzo Melegatti, home to the inventor of Pandoro, adorned with its distinctive stone Pandori. The enticing aroma of freshly baked bread will lead us to the historic De Rossi Bakery. After admiring Piazza delle Erbe, we will head towards my home, but not before stopping at the Antica Bottega del Vino for a taste of tradition. Once we arrive, we will roll up our sleeves and prepare gnocchi, a classic Veronese dish, to enjoy with a glass of wine.

    Michela was great!! My husband and I learned a lot about Italian food culture in the few hours we spent with her. She served us local cheeses and soppressa. She made for us bigolo in tomato sauce, eggplant and cheese dish, and a peach tart. Everything was tasty! We helped a bit in making the eggplant dish. She gave me cooking tips I can use at home. And we spent a lot of time talking about our cultures. We highly recommend her and the Cesarine program.

    Wonderful cooking experience with Michela, probably the best activity in our very busy week in Verona. Very much appreciated her kind hospitality and patience and the food we made was amazing. We have know hesitation in recommending this experience. Having never cooked before it exceeded all expectations. Just also to say what a wonderful person Michela is.

    We had an unforgettable experience with this cooking class in Verona! The Michaela went above and beyond to make our special occasion truly memorable, it was during our honeymoon. She was incredibly thoughtful in accommodating our dietary restrictions, which made the experience even more unique and personalized. The class began with a delightful food tour around the city—a perfect way to immerse ourselves in local flavors and culture. The cooking session itself was amazing; she’s a fantastic teacher—clear, patient, and passionate. On top of it all, she was extremely welcoming and friendly, and communication with her was effortless from the start. Highly recommend!

    Michela
    Cesarina from 2021Location: Verona    Languages: English, French, Italian
    Michela is from Verona, she has always lived in Verona, a city of art and love. Her apartment is a few steps from Piazza Brà, in the city center. The hills with its vineyards, Lake Garda with centuries-old olive trees and the Lessini mountains surround the monuments of a city with magical views. Her passion for cooking is a family legacy. Grandmother Laura and mother Bibi involved grandchildren and children in the preparation of long and short fresh pasta, lasagna, tortellini and tortelli, meat main courses with side dishes and desserts. "In the kitchen I try to convey the value of simplicity, but at the same time I am always ready to experiment with new dishes, mainly using the typical products of the Verona area."
