We'll spend time cooking together while immersing ourselves in the rich traditions and stories behind Modena’s cuisine. As we prepare each dish, I’ll share the history and cultural significance of the ingredients and recipes we’ll be using—many of which have been passed down through generations. Whenever possible, we’ll use locally sourced products to ensure freshness and authenticity. Some of the ingredients will even come directly from our own vegetable garden, right next to the house. Depending on the season and the weather, we might take a walk through the garden together to pick fresh herbs, fruits, or vegetables to use in our meal. Whether you’re a passionate home cook or just curious about Italian food culture, I’ll make sure you feel at home and fully enjoy this journey of flavors.

- Positive experience, the detailed explanation of raw materials used and preparation methods very interesting. High-quality Rezdora.
- Angela was a fantastic host. She welcomed me into her home and together we made some beautiful pasta and a beautiful variation of terimisu. It was a fantastic activity and has given me the confidence to try it at home. Highly recommended!
- Angela was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the local cuisine and culture. We had a fantastic time with her, and the food we made was absolutely DELICIOUS! My word of advice to anyone taking this class is show up with an empty stomach because you will be absolutely stuffed (and happily so) by the time you leave! We would recommend this class to anyone who is visiting Modena.
- We had the pleasure of being welcomed by Angela in Modena yesterday to prepare ricotta and asparagus tortelli together, and it was a wonderful experience! Angela was extremely welcoming from the first moment, creating a warm and familiar atmosphere that made us feel right at home. With great passion and clarity, she guided us step by step in the preparation, sharing useful tips, interesting facts, and that extra touch that only those who truly love cooking can convey. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and thanks to her, we experienced an authentic, fun, and very tasty moment! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Modenese cuisine in a genuine and engaging way. Thank you, Angela! Paola and Chiara from Marsala 🍷
- What a fantastic experience! We had a amazing time making tortelloni with Maria. It was fantastic to learn from her and gain knowledge through her extensive experience making food. Not only was it amazing to make, but it also was some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. We also enjoyed making the dessert and sharing a meal together during this intimate experience. If you want to experience true regional and local culture, then this is the cooking class for you.
