    We had a truly wonderful experience with Gigliola. From the first moment, we felt welcomed like at home, in an authentic, warm and familiar atmosphere. The cooking class was much more than a simple cooking lesson: it was a real moment of sharing and discovering the Piedmontese tradition. Making ravioli together was special, and Gigliola managed to convey all the passion and love for family cooking. Everything happened calmly, without rushing, just like in a real Piedmontese home. Excellent dinner and delightful company. One of the most authentic experiences of our weekend between Monferrato and Langhe. Highly recommended for those seeking something true, genuine and away from overly touristy experiences.

    We loved our cooking class with Gigliola! She welcomed us into her beautiful home with such warmth, and the food was fantastic—fresh, regional, and full of flavor. It felt like spending an evening with friends while learning real Piedmontese recipes. A quick tip for future travelers: the house is outside central Asti, which adds to the charm, but you should plan transportation in advance. Our driver had trouble finding it in the dark, though Gigliola’s assistant kindly helped call a taxi for our return. Overall, an inviting, delicious, and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

    We had an unforgettable cooking class with Gigliola near Asti. From the very beginning, she made sure to accommodate our dietary restrictions, thoughtfully adapting the recipes without compromising on taste or authenticity. We were warmly welcomed with delicious snacks and drinks and later enjoyed the dishes we prepared ourselves under her guidance. Gil explained everything with passion and patience in Italian, which added to the authentic experience - yet there was always someone available to translate when needed. The whole atmosphere felt personal, unique, and full of warmth, making the class not just about cooking, but about sharing culture and connection. A truly delicious and memorable experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the region.

    Cooking is a true passion and a moment of relaxation for me, a way to express creativity and love through the flavors of tradition. I love making fresh homemade pasta, especially stuffed pasta, tagliolini, and gnocchi, following family recipes and enhancing genuine ingredients. Main courses hold a special place in my kitchen: I enjoy cooking braised meats and roasts, dishes that require patience and care but reward with deep, rich flavors. I also like experimenting with wild herbs, precious ingredients from our land, perfect for enriching frittatas and simple yet flavorful dishes. Desserts are never missing from my table, whether traditional baked sweets, perfect for pairing with coffee or an afternoon snack, or creamy spoon desserts, ideal for ending a meal on a sweet note. I love organizing outdoor apericenas, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere with delicious small bites, good wine, and the magic of an evening in good company. For me, cooking is all about sharing, tradition, and pure joy!
