Shared Experience
Your experience

    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.

    I had an excellent experience cooking with Paola. As a single guest, I basically had a private lesson in her home kitchen. Paola is a wonderful cook, a good teacher and an excellent host. She was well prepared so all her attentions went to teaching me and answering my many questions. The food was truly Friuli style, which I appreciated a lot. It all had a new twist to me, was all vegetarian on my request and most importantly was delicious. Paola added some local cheeses as a starter and proper caffe corretto after dinner. Adding to that, we made enough pasta to take about 2-3 portions home. Last but not least, Paola and her husband told me many stories and facts about the region and were a very friendly and welcoming couple to be with. All and all the only ‘down point’ I can think of, is that I couldn’t eat anything else all day, after so much delicious food 😉 If you’re looking for a truly local and delicious experience, Paola’s kitchen is definitely the place to be!

    We want to thank you for this culinary experience of the highest quality, not only because we were welcomed like beloved family, but also because it was of the highest class in terms of taste! We were also allowed to help with the cooking and learned how to make many dishes in the process. So, at the very least, we know we want to make a Frico! Absolutely top quality and, in this pleasant atmosphere of Paola, Loris and Amelia, a must-have experience for anyone interested in cooking and enjoying good food! Thank you!

    It was absolutely wonderful! We have never attended a course like this before. At Paola’s home, we immediately felt comfortable and welcome. It’s impossible to describe how great Paola’s hospitality is. She even organized her own translator, who was equally wonderful and friendly. All that remains to say is: Wonderful. Unique. An experience of a special class! Thank you for every single minute! Tanja & Michael, Vienna

    The whole experience was amazing, definitely the best highlight to my trip to Italy. Paola and her family were most welcoming and the food was incredible from starts to dessert, also learning new techniques and skills in the kitchen was great. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try traditional, authentic Italian food 🇮🇹 😁

    I 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.
