- Aurora opened her beautiful home to us. She is a wonderful chef/cook and the food was delicious. We made ravioli, other different types of pasta and tiramisu. 5 stars with Aurora in Verona!
- È stata davvero un’esperienza unica, che tutti dovrebbero fare una volta nella vita: Aurora mi ha accolto nella sua casa a braccia aperte offrendomi tantissimi consigli ed accorgimenti sulle ricette fatte insieme. La sua gentilezza e cordialità sono davvero uniche, vi sentirete a casa! Penso che questa esperienza sia un ottimo modo per conoscere davvero quelle che sono le tradizioni di un luogo, raccontate nella loro semplicità da una persona che lo abita in prima persona. Quest’esperienza mi ha lasciato sicuramente qualcosa in più rispetto ad un semplice pranzo in un ristorante!
- My partner and I participated in Aurora’s “Three Vegan Italian Desserts” workshop and it was a major highlight of our trip. Aurora was so warm and welcoming, she made us feel comfortable and right at home. She was extremely well prepared and offered us homemade appetizers so that we didn’t go hungry during the class. As a vegan, it’s very hard to find cooking classes in Italy other than “pasta with vegetable sauce;” Aurora understood this and created an amazing, unique experience. My personal favourite recipe was the doughnuts, and I already picked up a few ingredients at grocery stores in Italy to make them at home. If you are considering any cooking class with Aurora, I couldn’t recommend it enough—you won’t regret it!
- Aurora was wonderful! We had so much fun learning to cook 2 different pastas and tiramisu in her beautiful home! We also adored her translator as we don’t speak a bit of Italian. We learned so much and are excited to bring the recipes back to Texas and share with friends. This was a true highlight of our 2 week trip to Italy! Thank you Aurora!!
- We had a wonderful experience learning how to make pasta, tiramisu, and gnocchi with Aurora in her lovely home. She was friendly, energetic, knowledgeable, patient, and fun to learn from. She sent me the recipes with all of her pro tips. Even though she didn't speak English, she provided a translator for us. And my husband, who is not a cook but participated in the class, thought this was one of the best excursions we did on our trip to Italy. I highly recommend taking classes with Aurora.
