Mixed appetizer with local products
Potato gnocchi
Surprise dessert
The red potato of Colfiorito is perfect for soft and tasty gnocchi. We start with an aperitif of local produce, an authentic taste of Umbria, before getting down to business to prepare gnocchi together with a seasonal sauce. A genuine culinary experience, immersed in nature. And to conclude, a sweet surprise made by me. I look forward to seeing you in my home in the countryside, surrounded by peace, to experience moments of taste and relaxation.
The class with Claudia was wonderful. We (my husband, our two teenage children, and I) spent a fantastic day learning to cook Italian dishes using top-quality ingredients. We felt as though we were being welcomed by Italian friends. An unforgettable experience! Claudia’s husband was incredibly helpful and created a warm, family-like atmosphere. We are very grateful and would love to come back for the spring edition

What a fantastic afternoon we had with Claudia! From the very first moment, everything felt personal and welcoming. We started by going grocery shopping together at various local delicatessen shops, where Claudia enthusiastically told us about the products. It was also really fun to choose a matching wine together.
After that, we met her husband Francesco, and along the way we were shown a few lovely sights of Spoleto. We then headed to Claudia’s beautiful property, where the cooking workshop took place.
The workshop was amazing and so much more than just cooking. It felt like we were briefly part of Italian life. The hospitality of Claudia and Francesco, the delicious dishes, the relaxed atmosphere, and the stunning location made this an experience we will not soon forget.
If you are in the Spoleto area, we can highly recommend this cooking workshop. It is a unique opportunity to experience the local culture up close and enjoy an unforgettable afternoon!

My husband and I had a lovely time cooking with Claudia. She guided us very well in the preparation of delicious Umbrian dishes- Claudia’s journey into Umbrian Cuisine through 3 recipes. We prepared lentils with sausages, made our very own pasta with truffle sauce, and an amazing Tiramisu from scratch. All the ingredients were locally sourced and fresh. She welcomed us into her lovely home and laid a beautiful table for us. We recommend Claudia and her husband, Francesco, wholeheartedly.

We spent a wonderful evening with Claudia and Francesco. Claudia taught us very clearly with a menu of various bruschetta, cheese, capocollo, ravioli, strangozzi and a tiramisu. The food turned out perfectly despite our inexperience. We then had a fantastic dinner learning about life in Umbria and Italy. We couldn’t recommend Claudia’s experience more highly.

We spent a wonderful morning learning from Claudia and enjoying her and her husband, Francesco's, delightful hospitality. We met opposite our hotel and then went for a wander through Spoleto stopping at various food shops to pick up the freshest ingredients and wine for our lunch. Claudia also took us to the Duomo to admire the frescoes and the hand written letter from St Francis of Assisi. Then it was off to Claudia and Francesco's home in the countryside for pasta making lesson in her well- equipped and laid out kitchen. Claudia's teaching is clear and straightforward and the strangozzi and various bruschettas were soon made. Then we sat down for lunch with Claudia and Francesco to devour the fruits of our labours and to learn more about the food, history and culture of Umbria. It was a super enjoyable introduction to our holiday and an experience not to be missed. Thanks so much Claudia

"I have always loved my territory and its products. My father cultivated the land and raised animals, so in my family we have always been used to eating excellent quality products and km 0. From the moment I got married, I continued the family tradition re-proposing the typical dishes that my father used to prepare for us and my guests are always happy when they are invited for lunch or dinner."
