Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Saffron risotto with sausage

Let’s cook yellow risotto together, step by step. It’s called this because the rice is enriched with fine Italian saffron, known for its intense aroma and vibrant colour. It’s a dish that tells the story of our region; in my family, it’s a recipe everyone loves. Carnaroli rice is cooked slowly in meat stock, or if you prefer the vegetarian version, in vegetable stock – you’ll enjoy a variation that’s just as delicious. Plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano, and straight to the table, because risotto is best served hot. A starter featuring local produce and a dessert of your choice will round off our lovely day together. I look forward to seeing you – drop me a line and let me know your preferences!

We had an awesome time with Patrizia! She was very kind and taught us with patience. We took her pizza making class and learned so many wonderful things that we can’t wait to share with our families. Thanks Patrizia!!

We honestly had such a lovely time with Patrizia. She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we arrived, like we were visiting someone we already knew. The food was delicious and everything felt so warm and genuine. You can really feel the care she puts into what she does. It was a beautiful experience and something we’ll definitely remember. Highly recommended 🤍

Our cooking experience with Patrizia was a wonderful experience. From the moment she welcomed us into her home with open arms, we felt like family. Her hospitality was absolutely outstanding, and the entire experience was warm, authentic, and unforgettable. The food was incredible — every dish we made was delicious, and learning to prepare it alongside her was such a joy. We learned so much throughout the class, not just about cooking, but about the traditions and love behind the food. And lunch with that breathtaking view made the experience even more magical. It was so much more than a cooking class — it was a memory we’ll cherish forever. If you have the opportunity to cook with Patrizia, do not miss it. It is an absolute must-do and an experience I would recommend to everyone.

My husband and I had the most special afternoon learning to cook several delicious gluten free dishes with Patrizia. Combined with her delightful company and experience, we now have excellent local recipes to bring home to our family and friends. We left happy and full, thank you so much to Patrizia, we hope to be back again!

"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."
