Shared Experience
Your experience

    White pizzoccheri, are the signature dish of Chiavenna, they are called pizzoccheri because of their special method of preparation, which I will be happy to explain. They are not buckwheat pizzoccheri, but if you love the flavors of Valtellina, you must try this variant as well. Sciat are savory pancakes , impossible to make if you don't have the right cheese, I will explain the technique so you can make them at home, we will make them and enjoy them together. The recipe for tiramisu, the most desired dessert in the world will conclude our cooking class.

    My husband and I had the most special afternoon learning to cook several delicious gluten free dishes with Patrizia. Combined with her delightful company and experience, we now have excellent local recipes to bring home to our family and friends. We left happy and full, thank you so much to Patrizia, we hope to be back again!

    Patrizia was a wonderful host and an excellent chef! She kindly welcomed us into her home for an evening of connection and local food. Her place is a bit off the typical tourist path, but well worth the journey. Her homemade focaccia + local cheese… delicious! We have a new friend in Patrizia and are so grateful for her hospitality!

    My husband and I had an amazing time cooking with Patrizia on our honeymoon! What an incredible experience. I’ll never forget how kind and welcoming she was! We made a bunch of the most delicious food and I’ve already used the knowledge we gained to cook at home. Thank you patrizia for an unforgettable experience!!!

    Patrizia and Luca were amazing hosts! First she helped us find a driver to her house which was all the way up the mountain with stunning views of the lake! Luca made us feel right at home and poured us a glass of red wine immediately! We made tiramisu and two different types of pastas. This was definitely a highlight of our honeymoon and I would recommend this cooking class to everyone! The food, the wine, and the conversation was amazing! Thank you so much Patrizia and Luca, we hope to see you again soon!

    "My life is tied to the lake, this is where I have my roots and where I’m fine. I am a painter, my work allows me to manage time and the kitchen is for me my second workshop, where I can easily create dishes instead of paintings. My two children, now grown up and my husband were those who made me practice and love cooking. Hosting friends during the summer in the garden was an opportunity to understand that receiving guests is a pleasure and a personal enrichment. The ingredients of my recipes are all genuine, from local producers:  honey, cheese, fish, directly from the fisherman in Dervio, and vegetables from my garden that my husband cares with passion for many years. Our house is a bit like the houses of the past, the fireplace and the stove allow us to warm up and cook with wood, and I must say that the result of the dishes cooked on the wood stove is very good. Also in the garden we have a kitchen and, in summer, we prepare, cook and always eat outdoors."
