Tagliatelle
Our itinerary will begin from my home in the heart of downtown Baveno. In the neighborhood, we will have the opportunity to visit a bakery, a store specializing in typical products and gastronomy, a delicious pastry shop and an inviting ice cream shop, all within walking distance in a few minutes. Along the way, we will engage in a fascinating food and wine journey, exploring authentic Piedmontese traditions. Baveno, a charming village on the shores of Lake Maggiore, revolves around a charming little square. We will spend time exploring this picturesque area before returning to my home. Together, we will have the opportunity to make delicious noodles, working the pasta with a rolling pin.
We had the ultimate pleasure of meeting Gabriella and Faust for our private cooking class. From the moment we arrived - we knew that we were in good hands. G and F took us to a local market where we shopped for some of the foods that we needed. Upon returning to their beautiful home, which looked out to Lake Maggiore we began to create our meal. G had snacks and drinks sat out for us. We made Veal Tonnato, Tagliatelle, and Tiramisu. G shared each recipe with me so I could make it when we returned home. G is an excellent cook and teacher. She took her time explaining the various steps of each recipe and she encouraged both my husband and myself to participate with the preparation. Faust was wonderful too helping out and especially cleaning up the mess that we made. JB enjoyed speaking with him as they shared wine and life stories. Once the meal was prepared we sat down together and enjoyed each dish. Honestly the food was sensational…perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious! It was hard to believe that we spent 4 hours together - the time flew by and at the end we discovered that we made new friends with the two sweetest people. If you are looking for a 5 star cooking class - contact Gabriella - you won’t be disappointed!

My son and I had a wonderful cooking experience with Gabriella and her husband. We were welcomed like family. And the time spent together preparing bruschetta, tiramisu, and risotto felt like we were cooking with cousins. Conversation was lively. Plenty of laughs. Fresh, local ingredients that were delicious. Gabriella guided us through each recipe. With her help, I finally understand what I’ve been doing wrong when I made risotto. And I have a copy of her recipe to try at home. It was a joy to cook with Gabriella. I highly recommend this cooking experience.

We enjoyed a lovely 4 course lunch with wine and coffee. Gabriela guided us through the preparation and cooking of our fresh Gnocchi. We also picked up lots of hints and tips for the prearartion of Aubergine starter and a Tiramasu sweet. We left with the recipes to prepare these at home. We really enjoyed the delicious food and this experience with Gabriela, highly recommended!

Gabriella was very patient, gracious and an experienced cook. She gave us lots of info and tips on making homemade pasta, she even shared her recipes! I informed our Viking tour guide about her and he was very excited to learn a new experience he could suggest. It was a lot of fun!
