Marilena
Spoken languages: Italian and English
Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
A fun and unique journey into the world of pizzoccheri.
It begins with the irresistible flavor of sciàtt, cooked in lard, an ancient condiment, together with the local cheese called casera. The batter is made with buckwheat flour grown behind my house. The sciàtt are accompanied, as a rule, with chicory, always from my garden. But it is the pizzoccheri I make that are what I am most proud of. It is a family tradition to know how to cook them to perfection, and it is with pride that I put into practice the teachings of my mother Ester, sharing them with joy with anyone who asks me. The dessert is a donut cake typical from Teglio.

- We really enjoyed this experience. We made a delicious, authentic meal with Marilena, using ingredients from her garden. Her translator stayed on site to help us communicate and was also wonderful to be with. Great experience!
- Marilena, (la mia omonima.. e questo non è da poco) è una donna strepitosa, fiera del suo territorio. Ti fa sentire a tuo agio, come se fossi a casa tua...mi son sentita come se fossimo amiche da anni. Atmosfera magica, anche perchè nevicava. Pizzoccheri super, abbiamo fatto una scorpacciata... Esperienza da ripetere.. super consigliata
- The cooking class with Marilena was as good as I had hoped it would be. Through her English-speaking interpreter, she explained in detail how to make pizzoccheri and sciatt, from how the ingredients were grown and made, to mixing the right proportions of ingredients together, how to cook them correctly, to sitting at her dining table and enjoying the food made during the class. Marilena created a friendly atmosphere in her home and made the three of us feel welcomed. It was a most enjoyable experience and from her lifetime experience of cooking pizzoccheri and sciatt I left her class knowing the fine points of making those meals delicious.
- Wonderful day learning to make the dishes our nonno used to cook us in Australia. Marlena was an excellent host and 6 of us all agree it was one of our best days in Northern Italy. Highly recommend
