Shared Experience
Your experience

    Join me for a culinary experience in Verona, discovering the traditional dishes of this city. In this class we will prepare soft polenta together, enriched with fresh mushrooms or stringy gorgonzola. Amarone risotto is a classic, but tagliatelle all'Amarone is also delicious. Alternatively, we will make potato gnocchi, a typical dish, especially during Carnival. To conclude, we will make the famous tiramisu. I also propose vegan versions of all dishes, to satisfy every need. Live an authentic and tasty experience in the heart of Verona, between tradition and passion for cooking!

    We took our family (husband, in laws, kiddos) for the cooking class at Aurora’s beautiful home and we loved it! She was so so kind and patient, explained us not only the recipe but also the story/origin of everything. The whole experience was amazing! A memory of flavors and Italian kindness we won’t forget. Thanks Aurora ♥️♥️♥️

    Italy is full of things to do and see…and of all of our activities, our group will unanimously agree that our time with Aurora was our favorite! What a lovely lady and experience! We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu all while having a blast! Highly recommend!😍

    Aurora opened her beautiful home to us. She is a wonderful chef/cook and the food was delicious. We made ravioli, other different types of pasta and tiramisu. 5 stars with Aurora in Verona!

    È stata davvero un’esperienza unica, che tutti dovrebbero fare una volta nella vita: Aurora mi ha accolto nella sua casa a braccia aperte offrendomi tantissimi consigli ed accorgimenti sulle ricette fatte insieme. La sua gentilezza e cordialità sono davvero uniche, vi sentirete a casa! Penso che questa esperienza sia un ottimo modo per conoscere davvero quelle che sono le tradizioni di un luogo, raccontate nella loro semplicità da una persona che lo abita in prima persona. Quest’esperienza mi ha lasciato sicuramente qualcosa in più rispetto ad un semplice pranzo in un ristorante!

    My partner and I participated in Aurora’s “Three Vegan Italian Desserts” workshop and it was a major highlight of our trip. Aurora was so warm and welcoming, she made us feel comfortable and right at home. She was extremely well prepared and offered us homemade appetizers so that we didn’t go hungry during the class. As a vegan, it’s very hard to find cooking classes in Italy other than “pasta with vegetable sauce;” Aurora understood this and created an amazing, unique experience. My personal favourite recipe was the doughnuts, and I already picked up a few ingredients at grocery stores in Italy to make them at home. If you are considering any cooking class with Aurora, I couldn’t recommend it enough—you won’t regret it!
