- Crispy roll with vegetabs
- Homemade pasta with seasonal saune
- Typical boiled cinnamon dessert
Immersed in the creativity of pasta, we will make three recipes together using a simple dough of water and flour. The right temperature and texture will make our preparations perfect. We will begin by rolling out the dough thinly to create a vegetarian roulade, frying it until crispy and mouthwatering, accompanied by a pink sauce and fresh vegetables. The first course will be the same pasta in a short format, with a sauce chosen according to the season. The dessert, typical Friulian, resembles a ravioli and will be filled with a mixture of dried fruit and grappa, boiled and topped with melted butter, honey and cinnamon. We will accompany the dishes with Friulian wines and, to finish, a homemade digestive.

- Paola and her family are amazing. The cooking class and the whole experience was well established and the dishes were impeccable. Thank you for everything and hope to see you in the future!
- My husband and I had an enchanting day (from 10 am to mid afternoon) with Paola, her husband and her daughter, Elisa, who translated for us. We were treated with warmth and made to feel like family. Paola took us to her garden, which was the source of some of the ingredients - zucchini blossoms, tomatoes, thyme and basil. We prepared delicious pasta dishes in her well equipped kitchen, and enjoyed learning new techniques. The food was fabulous, and the conviviality of the company equally memorable. At the table, in addition to the food we prepared together, we were offered generous and tasty selections of cold meats, cheeses, pickled vegetables, prosecco, wine and coffee. All in all a wonderful experience.
- What for a great event! Paola and her husband, supported by their neighbour Alessandra, offered us a delicious dinner. Cured meat and cheese as starter, zucchini gnocchi, frico and tiramisu: it has been an extraordinary dinner of local taste. We felt warmly welcomed like friends! Many thanks, Paola, for this unforgettable evening.
- What an amazing day. We had the best day of our lives! Paola and Luis were exceptional hosts who made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived. Lara our interpreter and a friend of their daughter, was so helpful and friendly. We had fun in the kitchen preparing a three course meal which was fantastic. If you do nothing else in Italy, you must sign up for this. We will forever treasure this amazing experience. Rose and Victor (Australia).
- Learning to cook regional Italian food with Paola was a real treat. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. Paola’s warmth made us feel at ease from the moment we arrived. She taught us how to make different pasta dishes incorporating the different tastes of the region. Her daughter Elisa was a real plus as she spoke English and also helped to make us feel at home. Dining together with her family was a memory we will cherish forever.

Cesarina from 2023Location: Tavagnacco Languages: Italian, English, SpanishI bring to the table dishes from three borders: Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. From my birth family, typical peasant dishes of Friulian tradition like frico, dishes with vegetables from the garden that follow the seasons, or artisan cured meats (my husband is a charcuterie enthusiast). Steaming polenta also accompanies game dishes such as wild boar or roe deer. From my husband's family, I learned more Nordic and Slavic traditions like sauerkraut, goulash, and potica. I also enjoy working with sourdough to prepare bread and focaccia.
