Private Experience
Your experience
  • Sciat
  • White Pizzoccheri from Val Chiavenna
  • Tiramisù with coffee

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.

Lovely morning spent with Patrizia learning new Italian cooking techniques

Patrizia’s cooking class exceeded my expectations on so many levels!!! When my husband and I arrived we were greeted by a very friendly Patrizia. Once we were settled we started making the tiramisu. We also learned how to make the yummiest focaccia bread. Lastly my husband and I learned how to make fresh pasta and two authentic sauces. Even though I can cook Italian cuisine due to my Italian American roots, I really learned so much how to use fresh simple ingredients to create an authentic meal. Also, when we were making the pasta I removed my ring which I promptly left it on the table as we leaving. Patrizia was so kind and sent the ring to the hotel we were staying at. I could not ask for a better “first day” on our Italy Adventures. I will definitely plan another cooking lesson during our next Italian vacation.

I can’t rave enough about the cooking experience my daughter, niece and I had with Patrizia! What a friendly host she was and made us feel so comfortable in her cozy and beautiful family home! So fun to have a hands on cooking experience and eating the yummy meal after it was prepared and good conversation around the table. Not only did she make it special for us Patrizia texted us the recipes and sent my daughter recommendations of things to do and see when we visit Milan this week. Hands down I would highly suggest this to be part of anyone’s plan when they come to Lake Como. My favorite so far and I will never forget this special time with a new friend Patrizia! Thank you so much!

This was an absolutely amazing evening. Patrizia was incredibly friendly and was a fantastic teacher. We arrived a few minutes early and she was so proud to show us her garden where the fresh ingredients used in the class came from. The view from the patio was beyond compare. The class was so fun and we learned so much. We truly can’t wait to make the tiramisu and fresh pasta at home. Patrizia was such a gracious host. She explained the home was her family home and her parents and cousins lived in other apartments. The time flew by and this was one of our favorite experiences on our trip. We would highly recommend this cooking class, especially with Patrizia as the host.

Pam and I had the most wonderful experience with Patrizia and Luka. We were fortunate enough to be their only guests that night. We received their undivided attention and hospitality. The meal was wonderful but also was the experience of being in our host’s home and participating in learning and enjoying family recipes going back at least three generations. We dined in their backyard situated on the mountainside providing what has to be one of the most beautiful views of Lake Como. Picture perfect. Even better has the fellowship, laughter and joy we experienced with our hosts. They are extremely warm, friendly, interesting, and easy to be around. This was highlight of our trip. A must do for anyone traveling in the area.

Patrizia
Cesarina from 2022Location: Bellano    Languages: English and Italian
"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."
