Your experience
The Abbey of Chiaravalle, founded by Saint Bernard in 1135, is one of the most important Italian monastic complexes, located within the South Milan Agricultural Park. I will take you to discover its beauty and the products from the monks' shop, such as bread baked in a wood-fired oven, salami, typical cheeses, rice and many quality products like liqueurs, grappa, digestives, wines, medieval beverages, and craft beers. There is also a reseller of Grana Padano DOP cheese, whose millennial history I will share with you. Specifically, with Grana Padano, once we return home, we will cook risotto together, and each time, it will be a different recipe depending on the season. I look forward to savoring this beautiful experience with you!

- Una vera gemma nascosta, una location con vista sui tetti di Milano. Da Sissi troverai un’atmosfera accogliente e calorosa come una vera padrona di casa sa essere e soprattutto avrai modo di gustare le vere specialità lombarde come l’ossobuco con risotto giallo e tante altre prelibatezze.
- Ho ricevuto dai colleghi un magnifico regalo: una lezione di cucina con Sissi, una Cesarina D O.C. La portata principale, i Pizzoccheri Valtellinesi. Sissi, in una bellissima cucina accogliente, mi ha messo subito a mio agio, con un approccio aperto e informale. Mi ha instradato alla ricetta partendo da zero, come da mia richiesta, lasciandomi autonomia e controllando le mie mosse. Si impara solo facendo. Tutti i passaggi ci hanno fatto approdare ad un ottimo risultato finale, aggiungendo la preparazione di un antipasto di involtini di bresaola, caprino, rucola e noci. Il tutto annaffiato da un buon vino Valtellinese. Come dessert una sbrisolona preparata da lei la mattina (mi ha cmq passato la ricetta). Il pranzo ha coronato questa fantastica esperienza tra chiacchiere sulle reciproche vite. Esperienza che consiglio? Al 100%!!! Grazie Sissi! A presto e buona cucina!
- Me and my family had a wonderful time at Sissi's during our dining experience. We were a lot of people (7) with many different dietary requirements and she catered to them all and prepared a delicious 4-course dinner. She was also a lovely host and had a beautiful home. I would definitely recommend it!
- Sissi was incredible and made us feel so welcome! She made the class enjoyable and fun and me and my friends absolutely loved it! The food was delicious 😊 10/10 would recommend, such a unique and wonderful experience learning to cook authentic Italian food!
- The cooking class with Sissi was a delightful evening! We were two families with two 8 year old girls and the attention Sissi gave the girls was amazing. So patient, so loving. Also the adults had so much fun. The meal was one of our best experiences in Milan. I couldn’t refer Sissi and Cesarine more. If you are planning to have a cooking class do it, you won’t regret it. Last but not least, the website is friendly and very reliable.

Sissi
Cesarina from 2018Location: Chiaravalle Languages: Italian and English"I love to shop in farmers' markets. Lately they are very frequent in my area and, as soon as I can, I’ll drop by to choose the best vegetables." Sissi is a true perfectionist: she loves taking care of the table even in the smallest details and gives great importance to the quality of the food, the cooking and the territorial origin of the products. She welcomes her guests in her house immersed in the tranquility of the Morivione district, a few steps from the Fondazione Prada, an important exhibition and museum space in Milan, where "it almost seems to live in the countryside, even if we are in the city."
