Shared Experience
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!

- We enjoyed a lovely 4 course lunch with wine and coffee. Gabriela guided us through the preparation and cooking of our fresh Gnocchi. We also picked up lots of hints and tips for the prearartion of Aubergine starter and a Tiramasu sweet. We left with the recipes to prepare these at home. We really enjoyed the delicious food and this experience with Gabriela, highly recommended!
- Gabriella was very patient, gracious and an experienced cook. She gave us lots of info and tips on making homemade pasta, she even shared her recipes! I informed our Viking tour guide about her and he was very excited to learn a new experience he could suggest. It was a lot of fun!
- My husband and I love to do cooking experiences when we visit other countries and we both agreed, this is the best one we have ever done. The food was fantastic, but Gabriella and her husband were fabulous, they were so welcoming and absolutely bewitching to be around. Gabriella's passion for food is infectious. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to create and eat gorgeous food. Thank you both so much, we had the best time!
- The cooking class was excellent! Gabriella’s passion for cooking is truly contagious, and her kindness made the course feel like home.”
- Wonderful from start to finish. Gabriella and her husband couldn’t have more welcoming. The food was delicious. Highly recommend!!!
