Tasting of traditional dishes

Your experience

    My grandfather used to tell me the tale of the three sisters who lived in the garden and helped each other. I later discovered it’s a true story: a traditional planting method combining corn, beans, and squash, each supporting the others. I decided to unite these three sisters with three Slow Food treasures: corn with Formadi Frant, squash with Pestât di Fagagna, and beans with Pitina. After a welcome sparkling drink with snacks, we’ll enjoy polenta cuincjade with morcje and Formadi Frant, macarons di zùf with Pestât for the first course, and bean stew with Pitina for the main. Paired wines and a surprise dessert await. Join me at my fairy-tale table!

    We were welcomed into Paola’s home and we felt at home. Never a dull moment, conversation flowed even without a translator. Family and food main topics. I was taught so many things that have come home with me to 🇨🇦. I’m missing Paola and her family and the delicious food. Thank you so very much for opening your beautiful home to us and including Hannah into preparations. She had a terrific time, so did ! Thanks again

    We had a wonderful and very relaxing evening with our host Paola and her family. We felt very welcome right from the start and enjoyed lovely conversations throughout the evening. The food was brilliant; we were even allowed to help out a little in the kitchen. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience authentic Friulian cuisine and spend a cosy evening with plenty of food, wine and lovely people.

    We want to thank you for this culinary experience of the highest quality, not only because we were welcomed like beloved family, but also because it was of the highest class in terms of taste! We were also allowed to help with the cooking and learned how to make many dishes in the process. So, at the very least, we know we want to make a Frico! Absolutely top quality and, in this pleasant atmosphere of Paola, Loris and Amelia, a must-have experience for anyone interested in cooking and enjoying good food! Thank you!

    The whole experience was amazing, definitely the best highlight to my trip to Italy. Paola and her family were most welcoming and the food was incredible from starts to dessert, also learning new techniques and skills in the kitchen was great. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try traditional, authentic Italian food 🇮🇹 😁

    I bring to the table dishes from three borders: Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. From my birth family, typical peasant dishes of Friulian tradition like frico, dishes with vegetables from the garden that follow the seasons, or artisan cured meats (my husband is a charcuterie enthusiast). Steaming polenta also accompanies game dishes such as wild boar or roe deer. From my husband's family, I learned more Nordic and Slavic traditions like sauerkraut, goulash, and potica. I also enjoy working with sourdough to prepare bread and focaccia.
