I am waiting for you in my home, on the shores of Lake Maggiore and overlooking the Borromean Islands, to share my passion for cooking with you! I am Gabriella and I have always loved traditional cooking. In my cooking class, I will teach you how to prepare three fresh pasta specialties: ravioli, tagliatelle and gnocchi. I will show you all the secrets to making perfect fresh pasta, from preparing the dough to making the different pasta shapes. I will guide you, step by step, in the preparation of the fillings and sauces that accompany these delicious dishes. At the end of the class, you will be able to taste the fruits of our labor, accompanied by a bottle of Piedmontese wine.
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!
