Shared Experience
Your experience

    For this special experience, where we will go to camps together and visit magical places in the area near Como, I will expect you at my home in the morning, around 10:00 a.m. experience time on Saturday and Sunday, 7:00 p.m. other days.

    After a breakfast of homemade cake and cappuccino or coffee, or aperitivo, we will set off in search of wild herbs to use in our preparations.

    The cooking class will begin by preparing lunch based on what nature has given us.

    I will make you part of all the preparations from appetizer to dessert: the menu will be decided together and we will use all the herbs that we will have collected in the fields, the real protagonists of our experience.

    Damiano was absolutely wonderful! From the communication prior to the cooking class to the end, he was top notch. He was extremely kind to welcome us into his home and was so patient and knowledgable about pasta and everything else. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

    We had a great time making pasta, cooking fish and desert in their home. A very relaxing dinner was the perfect ending. Our host were fabulous and we would recommend this cooking class to all.

    Cesarina from 2020Location: Como    Languages: Italian, English, French
    I have always had a strong passion for cooking that led me first to learn simple and traditional family Sunday recipes, and then to attend the Bellagio Hotel School. A glass of good wine and an excellent dessert, which I am fond of, must never be missing from my table. I try to shop responsibly and, as much as possible, purchase local products such as eggs, vegetables, and meats from local producers. The lake fish I use in my recipes is caught directly by fisherman friends, while I personally collect mushrooms during autumn and preserve them for subsequent seasons. I live in Lomazzo, a small historical village. From my loggia, you can overlook the square of the Baroque Church of San Siro and the "Arco della Pace," where in 1286, the peace treaty between the rival cities of Como and Milan was signed. I open my home to guests who want to learn the secrets of Lombard cuisine and, why not, something about traditional Italian cuisine as well. Lomazzo, considered a working-class village due to the presence of an important cotton mill that for 200 years was the flagship of Italian manufacturing industry (now transformed into an Innovation Hub), is nestled in the Lombard countryside. It serves as a crossroads to easily reach Milan, Como, its lake, and Switzerland, both through the railway station that connects the two Lombard cities in just a few minutes and the convenient highway access. For my guests, in addition to offering them a beautiful experience, I provide free round-trip transfers from Lomazzo to Como by car (max. 4 people) or by train, both from Como (Como Lago Station/Lomazzo) and Milan (Milan Cadorna Station/Lomazzo).
