It was a wonderful evening. I met lovely people: Marek and Michalina. And of course, I learned about the art of preparing artichokes in four ways. Today at home I tested one, Marko is a master :)

Cesarino Marco and his wife, as part of the “More Regional Organic in Europe” project, put on a three-hour showcooking event in the truly impeccable shopping center. All fresh and organic ingredients, combined with care: the result was simply delicious. Their professionalism and, above all, their humanity are striking: they are kind-hearted people, capable of engaging the audience with competence, friendliness, and passion. The feedback was enthusiastic not only for the dishes, but for the entire performance. Highly recommended.

This was an amazing your hosted by the best people we met on our journey through europe. They showed as all the treasures of food Rome had to offer. Marco had print outs off all the food we tried so we could read later and understand the origins. The food was incredible had a meat platter to try all the different produce from the area, so filling. Then had dessert from a wonderful team that just kept feeding us which was fantastic. I recommend Marco highly is was so much fun.
