The best experience we had this holiday! I made a date to learn how to make pasta but had no idea what I was getting into. When we arrived Cristina was so welcoming and festive. The experience was beyond our expectation. We had so much fun, we had apperitivo - Cristina set the most beautiful table for dinner. We didn’t want to leave. We loved getting to know Cristina and her daughter Linda. I can’t recommend this experience enough. We will never forget this wonderful evening and can’t wait to meet up with Cristina again.

Such a lovely evening at Cristinas home, she was so warm and hospitable and made the most beautiful meal for us. Highly recommend.

Cristina really went above and beyond for all her guests. She was a generous host and a wonderful teacher! We could not have enjoyed ourselves more and we can't wait to try recreating her recipes at home. Thank you SO much! I will suggest that you be sure to make arrangements before hand to get to her place. The taxi service in Lake Como was difficult and if we'd planned ahead it may have been easier.

My 21 and 23 year old sons and me had a wonderful time learning to make tagliatelle, ravioli and tiramisu with Cristina. It was such a treat to be in her warm and well organized kitchen in her home and to learn about her local farms and specialties. She was very informative and we all had fun participating in the cooking. Then we enjoyed our creations at a lovely table in her garden with her beautiful family. It was such a special day for us, a real highlight of our 10 days in Italy. Cristina is warm and welcoming and I highly recommend her class to anyone wanting an authentic and special cooking experience.

Christine was so accommodating ! We thought this class was center of Como and we found out it was 25 min away! She waited for us as the others in the Laura and Edgar waited for us - it was a nice place on the outskirts of Como in the country side. The house was warm and comfortable atmosphere and the kitchen welcoming. We make a tagliatelle noodle and raviolis and the tiramisu. She gave is very good insight to each dish and the ingredients were fresh and wonderful. The food turned out wonderful and was so very good ! The company was exceptional and we hope that she will come to California so we can have a cooking class here !!!

Cristina
Cesarina from 2022Location: Faloppio    Languages: Italian, English, German, French
"My passion for cooking dates back to the times when as a child I liked to observe my mother kneading the shortcrust pastry with such care and my father who had a particular fondness for homemade pasta. I remember dinners with friends on Saturday evenings or family lunches on Sundays, where tagliatelle or lasagna with homemade pasta were a "must" and, finally, an exquisite jam tart could not be missing. In the family we had the legendary Aunt Cristina who was a cook in a rich Milanese family. His recipe book, handwritten with a handwriting that belongs to the past, contains many little secrets that he diligently noted down and which today are a precious heritage from which to draw on many ideas and suggestions. My cuisine is linked to traditions, but I really like to diversify and give a particular touch to the various dishes of Como and Lombardy specialties, strictly using local, organic and 0 km products".
