: Christina was a warm and welcoming host who invited us into her beautiful home and garden for an unforgettable evening. Surrounded by olive trees, many of which provide the olives for her own delicious olive oil, and the fragrance of blooming jasmine, we immediately felt at home. Our class was a private experience for just me, my husband, and our 20 year old son. Christina guided us through making fresh pasta dough from scratch and then taught us how to shape it into four different types of pasta. While the dough rested, we enjoyed appetizers and wine. One of the highlights was tasting Christina's own olive oil, made from the olive trees in her garden. It was absolutely delicious and made the experience feel even more personal and authentic. Christina explained the similarities and differences between four traditional sauces and showed us how to prepare each one. The entire evening was relaxed, engaging, and filled with great food, conversation, and hospitality. A word of advice: do not take your plate without permission. There is a method to Christina's process! Of everything we did during our time in Rome, we all agreed that this experience was the highlight of our trip. If you are looking for an authentic and personal Italian cooking experience, I cannot recommend Christina highly enough. Christina è stata una padrona di casa calorosa e accogliente che ci ha aperto le porte della sua splendida casa e del suo giardino per una serata indimenticabile. Circondati da ulivi, molti dei quali producono le olive utilizzate per il suo delizioso olio d'oliva, e dal profumo del gelsomino in fiore, ci siamo sentiti subito a nostro agio. La nostra lezione è stata un'esperienza privata riservata solo a me, mio marito e nostro figlio di 20 anni. Christina ci ha guidati nella preparazione dell'impasto per la pasta fresca e ci ha insegnato a modellarlo in quattro diversi formati di pasta. Mentre l'impasto riposava, abbiamo gustato antipasti e vino. Uno dei momenti più piacevoli è stato assaggiare l'olio d'oliva di Christina, prodotto con le olive dei suoi alberi. Era assolutamente delizioso e ha reso l'esperienza ancora più personale e autentica. Christina ci ha spiegato le somiglianze e le differenze tra quattro sughi tradizionali e ci ha mostrato come prepararli. L'intera serata è stata rilassante, coinvolgente e ricca di ottimo cibo, conversazione e ospitalità. Un piccolo consiglio: non portate via il vostro piatto senza permesso. C'è un metodo dietro tutto ciò che fa Christina! Tra tutte le esperienze vissute durante il nostro soggiorno a Roma, siamo stati tutti d'accordo nel dire che questa è stata la migliore. Se cercate un'esperienza culinaria italiana autentica e personale, non posso raccomandare Christina abbastanza.
: Cristina was most welcoming and informational when teaching my husband and I during our cooking class. It ended up just being the 2 of us and couldn’t have been more perfect! She explained everything patiently. Her home and environment were beautiful! We learned so much and had a blast learning three new pasta recipes!! We could not recommend this class with Cristina more. This is an experience we will talk about forever!
