Before we begin the cooking class, we will take a tour together among the plants in my garden to hand-pick the vegetables and herbs we will use: tomatoes the color of sunset, zucchini shining like buds, eggplant grown under the complicit light of the full moon. Then, in the kitchen, the magic continues. Together we will prepare: savory pies scented with medicinal herbs, risotto with freshly picked nettles, parmigiana with giant eggplants,the seven-leaf soup, golden omelets with fresh eggs. And to close on a sweet note, my gluten-free carrot and almond cake-which I affectionately call "Heart of the Garden"-served with an ever-present Italian-style coffee. From harvest to table: this is where the real magic is born.

- Wonderful evening. A mix of team building between colleagues and friends, coordinated by the wonderful Simona, a host who is skilled, brilliant, and super at everything.
- Simona welcomed us at her wonderful home with a big smile on her face. The whole experience was wonderful. We have learned how to make tagliatelle and bruschettas. All the ingredients are fresh and homemade! We have enjoyed our self and highly recommend a visit.
- Simona welcomed us into her country home and we immediately felt right at home. She showed us her beautiful vegetable garden and her aromatic herbs. Upon our arrival, she had already prepared a focaccia for us, which we then enjoyed with homemade sauces and jams (truly exceptional!). She taught us, step by step, how to make tortelli... everything was simple and authentic with her! The tortelli were truly delicious. We finished on a high note by using the leftover dough to make some tagliatelle, which she gave us as a gift. The evening was truly delightful; we couldn't have hoped for more!! Simona is absolutely lovely and a perfect hostess! Experience highly recommended!!
- It was a warm, entertaining, interesting, and culinarily outstanding evening at Simona's! She welcomed us and even our dog warmly and friendly, and we learned a lot, laughed, and ate great food! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
- We were guests of the very kind Cesarina Simona Amelia Ardighieri and immediately felt welcomed in a family atmosphere. The food was excellent, and it was very engaging to prepare the borage tortelli and fettuccine together. A very pleasant evening that I would recommend. Personally, I would like to repeat the experience in spring. Rosa

Simona Amelia
Cesarina from 2025Location: Cremona (CR) Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, German, FrenchEvery dish I prepare tells the story of my homeland, family traditions, and childhood memories. My cooking celebrates authentic flavors through traditional recipes such as marubini, stuffed fresh pasta, polenta with rabbit, and cotechino with lentils and homemade mostarda. I love highlighting seasonal ingredients and wild herbs, preparing specialties such as nettle risotto, wild hop frittata, and stuffed zucchini flowers. My family vegetable garden provides me with fresh, wholesome ingredients every day, which I also use to create dishes suited to different dietary needs, with particular attention to gluten intolerance. For me, cooking means sharing passion, authenticity, and a love for tradition.
