Shared Experience
Your experience
We will experience an authentic apericena together, preparing each dish with km 0 ingredients. The recipes, simple but tasty, will adapt to the season or to your personal tastes. It will be possible to opt for vegetarian or gluten-free menus. Everything will be accompanied by fine local wines. I await you in my family home, overlooking the shores of Lake Maggiore with an enchanting view of the Borromean Islands.
We had the ultimate pleasure of meeting Gabriella and Faust for our private cooking class. From the moment we arrived - we knew that we were in good hands. G and F took us to a local market where we shopped for some of the foods that we needed. Upon returning to their beautiful home, which looked out to Lake Maggiore we began to create our meal. G had snacks and drinks sat out for us. We made Veal Tonnato, Tagliatelle, and Tiramisu. G shared each recipe with me so I could make it when we returned home. G is an excellent cook and teacher. She took her time explaining the various steps of each recipe and she encouraged both my husband and myself to participate with the preparation. Faust was wonderful too helping out and especially cleaning up the mess that we made. JB enjoyed speaking with him as they shared wine and life stories. Once the meal was prepared we sat down together and enjoyed each dish. Honestly the food was sensational…perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious! It was hard to believe that we spent 4 hours together - the time flew by and at the end we discovered that we made new friends with the two sweetest people. If you are looking for a 5 star cooking class - contact Gabriella - you won’t be disappointed!

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!
