    Be transported to the magic of polenta and come to my home to discover the many faces of this wonderful gift of nature! Together we will create a complete menu with a choice of vegetarian, meat or fish options.

    Polenta, often thought of as a simple accompaniment, will become the queen of the table: versatile and surprising, it is perfect as an appetizer, first course, main course and even dessert. I will share with you all the secrets to turning it into an all-around culinary experience, playing with rich and simple ingredients, and creating dishes that satisfy every palate.

    I look forward to a creative, modern experience full of surprises. Viva la polenta!

    Our visit with Elena was amazing. We so enjoyed our polenta cooking class. Each dish (appetizer, first and second course, as well as dessert were made using polenta. The food was amazing. Most importantly of all was the hospitality shown to us. Our tour of the B&B was such an unexpected surprise. The rooms are creative and authentic. We highly suggest this experience!

    Elena’s cooking was amazing at a nice country home. We’re so glad we were able to try local dishes! Highly recommend if you are in the area!

    Elena suggested a vegetarian dinner with several courses that was simply amazing: dishes different from the usual and carefully prepared in every detail. Her company was also truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

    Bellissima esperienza - February 2024

    Elena is a wonderful hostess and we had the pleasure of spending a lovely and unforgettable evening with her (and her husband Antonio). Delicious and typically Italian dishes were cooked and baked, which we can now brag about to our friends, such as the traditional shortcrust pastry from the Mantova region, the Torta Sbrisolona. According to my friend Markus, it was the best birthday gift of all time! I cannot disagree. It was truly great :-)

    "Friends call me 'Archichef', I'm an architect stolen from the kitchen. Architecture and Cuisine are both children of creativity, but supported by a rigid discipline, which is camouflaged by color, flavor and apparent lightness and simplicity. I love recipes popular, those of grandmothers and traditions that are no longer used and I love, at times, to transform them into a new dish, but not too much. My philosophy is to use top quality products, as much as possible at zero km; pasta, homemade bread, pizza and desserts. Most of the fresh products are of own production (vegetables, fruits) found in local farms, or from DOCG, DOP, organic or biodynamic denomination companies."
