Hi from Patrizia!

"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."

Patrizia was a wonderful hostess, providing us with limitless wine, freshly baked homemade focaccia, locally sourced cheese, honey and salami. The view from her house is incredible and it’s really the most enjoyable time that is worth every penny. She has been super responsive and overall extremely proactive with communicating with us. She is the epitome of a perfect hostess and everyone should try at least one of her classes! We can’t wait to return,

We had such an amazing time cooking fresh pasta and tiramisu! Everything came out so wonderfully delicious! She offered us wine, cheeses and salami from a local farm, as well as localy sourced honey to start pur meal! Patrizia was an amazing hostess and had the cutest house with an amazing view out off her porch patio! Would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could! Highly recommend!

Abbiamo avuto una fantastica esperienza con Patrizia. La location è strepitosa, si ha una vista mozzafiato sul Lago Di Como ed è visibile l'Isola Comacina. La casa di Patrizia è molto accogliente, colorosa e ben arredata. Patrizia è stata una host attenta, gentile e molto informata.... la sua passione per le ricette del territorio e l'utilizzo di prodotti locali ha reso l'esperienza ancora più memorabile. Grazie di aver reso la nostra esperienza con il team indimenticabile!

Amazing class! Patrizia and her husband were so hospitable and wonderful, and we made the most delicious pastas and tiramisu. My husband is the chef of the family and they were both so patient with all of the questions he was asking throughout the class :). Also, a bonus is that their house has a beautiful view of Lake Como! Would definitely recommend this cooking class and have referred Patrizia to a few friends who will be in Italy this summer.

We had a very nice and educational cooking event with Patrizia and Luca. We learned a lot about pasta. The experience was one of my best on this trip. Highly recommended .
