Your experience

    Experience authentic Italian cuisine in the charming hamlet of Pradello, Bellano, with stunning views over Lake Como. This hands-on class will guide you through the art of making fresh pasta and Tiramisù, two of Italy's most beloved dishes. Start by preparing a creamy Tiramisù, layering espresso-soaked savoiardi with rich mascarpone cream. Then, mix flour and eggs to create a smooth pasta dough, rolling and shaping it into your favorite style, just as Italians have done for generations. After cooking, sit down to enjoy your homemade meal with local wine, coffee, and traditional liqueurs, all in a welcoming, rustic setting. A perfect way to immerse yourself in Italian traditions, delicious food, and the breathtaking beauty of Lake Como!

    We had the absolute pleasure of taking a cooking class in Italy with Patrizia and Luca, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed us into their beautiful home with genuine warmth and hospitality. The entire experience felt personal and authentic. Not only did we learn how to prepare traditional Italian dishes, but we also got a deeper understanding of the local culture and the passion behind the cuisine. Patrizia and Luca were patient, knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. And the food? Absolutely incredible! Without a doubt, the best we had during our time in Italy. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and knowing we had a hand in making it made it even more special. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Italian culinary traditions!

    "My life is tied to the lake, this is where I have my roots and where I’m fine. I am a painter, my work allows me to manage time and the kitchen is for me my second workshop, where I can easily create dishes instead of paintings. My two children, now grown up and my husband were those who made me practice and love cooking. Hosting friends during the summer in the garden was an opportunity to understand that receiving guests is a pleasure and a personal enrichment. The ingredients of my recipes are all genuine, from local producers:  honey, cheese, fish, directly from the fisherman in Dervio, and vegetables from my garden that my husband cares with passion for many years. Our house is a bit like the houses of the past, the fireplace and the stove allow us to warm up and cook with wood, and I must say that the result of the dishes cooked on the wood stove is very good. Also in the garden we have a kitchen and, in summer, we prepare, cook and always eat outdoors."
