- Simona welcomed us in her home together with her son. Both were absolutely lovely people and fun to talk to. They made us feel comfortable and showed us how to make gnocchi. They gave us a tour of their garden and let us harvest our own onions and basil to use in the recipe. They only use fresh home grown food which makes it taste even better. Simona had prepared a few aperitifs for us to eat while we waited for the food to cook. We really recommend this course! They gave us the best time and absolutely made our holiday here way more memorable. A thousand thanks to these two lovely people.🩷🍾
- Siamo stati molto ben accolti da Simona, molto simpatica e allegra. La lezione è stata davvero interessante, abbiamo imparato a fare i tortelli: buonissimo e il tutto accompagnato con vino bianco locale. È stata una giornata molto gradevole! Complimenti Simona, bravissima! Grazie mille Odete e Salvador di Brasile 🍾🍾🍾🌺🌺

Cesarina from 2025Location: Cremona Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, German, FrenchThe marubini, small parcels of pasta filled with meat, evoke the warmth of my home and the love with which my mother used to prepare them. Fresh pasta is a hymn to nature: tagliatelle, lasagna, and tortelli stuffed with borage, pumpkin, or wild herbs tell stories of forests and fields, where wild herbs grow spontaneously, giving off unmistakable fragrances.
Polenta with rabbit is the dish of family and tradition, simple and comforting, where the softness of the polenta blends with the delicacy of the meat. Then there's cotechino with lentils, a classic of the holidays, perfectly balanced with homemade mustard, an explosion of sweetness and spiciness that connects the past with the present.
There are also fresh and light dishes, like zucchini lasagna with ricotta, perfect for summer, or fried stuffed zucchini flowers, picked at dawn to preserve their delicacy and transformed into a crispy delight. There's wild hop frittata, which tastes of the countryside and simplicity, and nettle risotto, a tribute to the wild nature that every year gifts me with the pleasure of foraging.
Even in desserts, I celebrate the beauty of the land: shortcrust pastry with wild fruits tells the generosity of nature.
The family garden is my secret ally: every day it provides me with fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. My recipes change with the seasons, following the gifts of the earth, and are designed to be enjoyed by everyone, especially those intolerant to gluten. Because every dish is not just food, but an experience of authenticity, love for care, and tradition.
