Shared Experience
Your experience
Italian cuisine has many ravioli recipes,they are my passion and I have experimented with many versions of this dish.
We will prepare three recipes , starting from the same scratch, but in three different colors. Three different fillings will turn ravioli into a delicate appetizer, a tasty first course and finally an original dessert. Appetizer: Green ravioli filled with ricotta and lemon, dressed in tuna sauce. First course: Ravioli prosciutto*and Robiola cheese with Parmesan, butter and sage. Dessert : Giant Sweet Cocoa ravioli with caramelized pears or berry coulisse. Bread or Bruschetta, one bottle of wine, water and coffee complete the experience.
*If you're vegetarian, let me know when you book: we'll make Swiss chards Ravioli instead, a typical recipe from my area, Lake Como.

- Wow this was the highlight of our trip/Honeymoon in Como! We were so surprised by how intimate this whole experience was! It felt like we were invited over for a private dinner with friends! Monica was so welcoming and the best hostess + instructor. She has a passion for cooking and creating the most memorable experiences. We enjoyed our class so much as well as having a fun and wonderful cooking class! We cannot wait to share what we’ve learned with our friends + family back home. Thank you Monica for everything! Truly unforgettable!
- Monica was very welcoming and did a great job teaching my husband and I how to make pasta, parmesan Cups and tiramisu. A enjoyable, relaxing, delicious meal
- Monica’s home is about a 10-minute walk from the lake and easy to get to. Monica provided a wam welcome and a cold drink before we started on what was a very informative, authentic and incredibly enjoyable evening. We had a beautiful bresaola starter, followed by some bruschetta with two cheese accompaniments prepared by Monica by way of intros. There were various drink options too! We then got down to the hard work of preparing our meals - a wonderful ravioli, a flavoursome fettuccine ragu and followed by a filling tiramisu. Nothing like we have eaten before - again very authentic, beautifully presented and tasted exquisite. Really enjoyed Monica’s teachings, her company and her unique home style. We would highly recommend. Grazie Mille Monica xx
- It is no wonder that Monica receives 5 star ratings. Her passion for food quality and sustainability is evident in the ways she talks about it. I booked this class for the purpose of making Tiramasu with an Italian cook. But I learned much more. Monica showed me how to make ravioli and fettuccine. Her home is lovely, full of beautiful art, but mostly welcoming to guests. I spent an evening with other guests representing 4 nations. Food is the common language of humanity that turns strangers into friends. I appreciate so much Monica's warm hospitality and patience teaching simple but delicious cooking. Monica, grazi mille! Ciao
- Monica is an awesome cooking teacher and friendly host! We were running a little late to our class, but Monica still accommodated us and even sent us the recipes for tiramisu, fettuccine, and ravioli after class. Highly recommend this cooking class and host!

Cesarina from 2020Location: Como Languages: English, Spanish, Italian“I love to write, and to read, in fact, books fill my house. I am mindful of the quality of food; I like to cook what I eat; and share the pleasure of the table with other people, friends, and guests. I am involved in the recovery of food surpluses for social solidarity purposes with the Food Bank of Lombardy Onlus in Como, where I live. I try to hand down recipes that are simple, and easy to learn by everyone, and that are connected as much as possible to the tradition of the Larian territory.”
