Hi from Ada!

We are in Castiglione delle Stiviere, between the provinces of Mantua and Brescia, an area of great scenic, historical and gastronomic value in Lombardy.Here we meet Ada, our Cesarina who is passionate about cooking and in love with her region. Ada can't wait to show you how to appreciate the culinary excellence of Lombardy, bringing a touch of perfection and originality to her dishes. “Cooking for me is like traveling, because the creation of a dish goes through several stages: from the search for local ingredients to the type of preparation, from the desire to rediscover traditional flavors to a thorough knowledge of local recipes. A journey of love that must be told and will hopefully amaze my guests."

Ada was a fantastic host and teacher. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute with her and will take our learnings home with us to share with our families. The food was fantastic and Ada was just fantastic to be with.
