Throughout the course, we will guide you in working with typical Lombard flours, such as polenta flour, buckwheat flour, and "fioretto" yellow flour. We'll create a traditional appetizer, a fresh pasta dish, and a dessert. Upon your return home, you'll amaze your guests with these delightful, authentic Italian recipes you've learned from us.

- I would definitely give our experience with Carolina and Simona 10 stars if this app would let me. We had so much fun! Carolina and Simona were so warm and welcomed us into their beautiful hilltop home with open arms. This felt like an evening spent cooking with a favorite aunt and cousin. The three pastas we made were delicious. This was truly one of the best experiences of our entire trip! I highly recommend it!
- This was truly the highlight of our trip. We were exited to learn to cook the thing that Italy is known so well for, we had no idea that our class would be full of learning about the History of these dishes and why they are important, the ingredients and how they come together, and overall just a new experience into the world of all things food. The entire family was polite, hilarious, intentional, uplifting, and extremely courteous. We are excited to come back and learn even more. Thank you Carolina e Simona! We appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts and can’t wait to see you again soon!
- The experience was 10/10! Simona and Carolina were very friendly and brought us into a full Italian cuisine experience. Their knowledge and passion for Italian food made the experience even more wholesome. It was the highlight of our holiday!
- Siamo state benissimo Carolina e Simona sono state molto accoglienti e anche pazienti con noi principianti. Siamo riuscite a cucinare ricette molto buone
- We were in Como on our Honeymoon and took the "class". It was wonderful! We are not sure which we enjoyed more- the class, the food or the company. Carolina and Simona welcomed us into their lovely home like we were family. We had excellent food and conversation about cooking, our family traditions and travel in each other's countries. We didn't want the evening to end!
