Your experience
In the heart of the Abruzzo hills, between sea and mountains, November marks the beginning of the olive harvest and the first pressing of extra virgin olive oil. During this special time, housewives prepare the traditional "rivotiche," a simple and tasty recipe made with water, flour and new oil. The batter sizzles in the pan, releasing authentic scents. As soon as they are ready, the rivotiche are stuffed with typical local cured meats and served hot, rolled and accompanied by a glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. A taste experience that tells the soul of Abruzzo cuisine.

- If you're looking for an unforgettable culinary experience in Abruzzo, look no further than Stefania’s cooking class. From the moment we arrived, she and her husband welcomed us with open arms, making us feel less like guests and more like old friends. Stefania’s passion for traditional Abruzzese cuisine shines through in every dish she teaches. With warmth, patience, and incredible expertise, she guided us through the preparation of regional specialties, sharing the kind of secrets you’d only get from a seasoned Italian Cesarina. Each ingredient had a story, and every bite was infused with the love and care that defines true Italian cooking. Beyond the food, the experience was pure joy filled with laughter, good conversation, and plenty of wine. By the end of the class, we weren’t just leaving with new skills, but with memories of a beautiful evening spent in the company of two wonderful hosts. If you have the chance to take this class, do it. It's not just about learning recipes—it's about experiencing the warmth, tradition, and heart of Italian cooking. Grazie mille, Stefania!
- My husband and I came to Italy on our honeymoon and when we traveled to Montesilvano, we found this cooking class online. It was by FAR the best experience we had at the beach! I cannot put into words just how wonderful Stefania and her family are, we were treated like more than family! She is a truly gifted teacher and chef, and when it was time to eat we all sat around the table and her husband told us about the wine we were drinking. We had a long conversation about any and everything, what a truly incredible experience!! Stefania and her family are remarkably generous, and kind! Thank you, Stefania for such an unforgettable night!!! For anyone who is looking into taking a class with Stefania, I promise you will not regret it!! :)

From homemade pasta to pizzas, focaccias, bread, and various desserts, my repertoire is diverse. I've taken bread-making courses with a keen focus on different flours and their strength.
