Special Experience
Your menu
For this special experience, where we will walk through fields together and visit magical places in the area near Como, I'll be waiting you at my house in the morning, around 09:00.
After breakfast with homemade cake and cappuccino or coffee, we will set off in search of wild herbs to use in our preparations.
On the way home, we will stop by a convent to buy fresh eggs and seasonal vegetables.
The cooking class will begin by preparing a lunch based on what nature has given us.
I will include you in all the preparations, from appetizer to dessert, and the menu will be decided together and we will use all the herbs we have gathered: the true protagonists of our experience.

Cesarine - Walking tour and cooking class with wild herbs near Como
- ottima sia la qualità della cena che della compagnia. una nuova esperienza che cercheremo di rifare
- We had a lovely dinner with Damiano and Federico. It was a delicious meal and great company!
- This experience was amazing! Damiano is an excellent chef and great instructor. We prepared and enjoyed a 4 course meal at his house . Highly recommend booking a class with Damiano and Federico. You wont regret it!
- Everything was wonderful. We didn't want to leave. We learned so much and felt so at home. Highly recommend.
- Everything was absolutely AMAZING!! I took a cooking class once before in Florence and it was no where NEAR as amazing as being in Damianos home with him and his utensils and garden. My boyfriend and I had the best experience we have had in all of Italy over the course of two weeks. They have been so hospitable, kind, informative, fun, and personable. I can't recommend this class enough. It is a MUST take and the recipes are far better than any restaurant we have experienced. Beautiful experience, photos, friendships, meal, and take home recipes. Please do yourself a favor and book with them soon. We will be coming all the way from Texas to do so again soon!!

Cesarina from 2020Location: Appiano Gentile Languages: Italian, English, French"I have always had a strong passion for cooking that led me first to learn the simple recipes of Sunday in the family and then to attend the Hotel School of Bellagio. In my table must never miss a glass of excellent wine and a good dessert, of which I am greedy. I try to do a responsible shopping, buying eggs, vegetables and meat from local producers. The lake fish I use is instead fished by my friends, while the mushrooms are collected by me during the autumn and then stored for the following seasons. I live in Appiano Gentile - a few kilometers from Como - defined Cittadella dello Sport given the important international sports venues, immersed in the Lombard countryside and crossroads to easily reach Milan, the area of Lake Como and Switzerland. In the house I have two gardens, where I like to welcome guests during the summer, for a lunch or a dinner in the open air, in complete tranquility."
