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 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!

With my partner, wine connoisseur, who follows me in my creations, we prepare delicious dishes that respect the tradition with particular attention to the research and selection of ingredients."
