- We were very fortunate to have a cooking lesson with Ginevra in her beautiful home in Lucca. She is charming, a talented cook and a patient teacher. We cooked two types of pasta and Tiramisu for dessert, preceded by wonderful Antipasti and different oils to try and enjoy. I cannot recommend her too highly, it was a wonderful few hours spent with an expert and we came away with the feeling of a real Italian experience. I’d do it all again tomorrow if I could. Grazie Mille Ginevra!
- Our cooking class in an apartment in Lucca with Ginevra was wonderful! She was extremely kind and accommodating to our 15 month old granddaughter. She even thought ahead to have toys and special food for her. The atmosphere was very comfortable, the cooking instructions were clear and doable for our family, and the meal that we shared was delicious. Ginevra was a wonderful host, and made us feel very welcome. We all very much enjoyed the evening, and it was the perfect activity to share with our family on the last evening of our Tuscan adventure!
- Thank you for your gracious hospitality. Our experience was unforgettable. We felt like we were invited to your home for a beautiful dinner with our new Italian family. We were most appreciative of your extensive knowledge of olive oil and wine and very impressed with your command of the English language. Both of our hosts were so personable with us, we felt truly among friends. Last, but certainly not least, the actual act of making the pasta and tasting all the wonderful flavors was beyond our expectations. We hope to see you this summer in NY. Ciao, Joe, Joanne, Carol, Carmen, Artie and Nancy
- A very generous and warm time was spent with Ginerva making some pasta, tasting olive oils, wine and other foods. All very relaxed and fun.
- Our dinner was with Francesca. She was so much fun. My wife and I had a great night. Good food in an amazing Luccan home. Bruschetta, Risotto, and Tiramisu. Very classic!!
