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!

Patrizia and her husband are the best!! The kindest people with the most beautiful home. They were so welcoming and patient with us through the whole experience. If you book any cooking class during your stay at Como it 100% should be this one.

Patrizia and her husband Luca were wonderful! I think this was the best experience of our entire trip. We would have spent more days with them if we could. Excellent food, beautiful views, warm and interesting conversation. We loved every minute of this class! Do not miss the opportunity to cook with Patrizia. You will learn cooking AND history! A five star experience!

Me and my fiance had the best time at Patrizia and Luka’s house. They are so warm and welcoming, house is enchanting and our time was spent with good food and good conversation. She made it seem so easy and we cannot wait to take these recipes back and try them at home. I highly recommend this cooking class to any and every one! Not to mention the amazing view we had for lunch in their garden.

The cooking experience at Patrizia’s was a dream come true! She and her husband Luca are so warm and welcoming and we had the best day learning how to make Tortelloni, Fetucinne and Tiramisu! It was absolutely delicious. Patrizia is so hospitable and kind and we will remember this day forever! Truly couldn’t recommend enough!

"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."
