Carolina and Simone made us so welcome in their home. As a group of four 70+ ladies with some mobility issues they were so accommodating. We had a wonderful time and even manages to make pretty good pasta and tiramisu. And we sat down to dinner and got to hear how the holidays were celebrated in Italy.

My daughter and I had the great pleasure of joining a cooking class with Carolina and Simona. It was fun evening of learning, laughing and eating. I highly recommend this cooking experience with such wonderful teachers. This adventure is a highlight of Italy trip due to the wonderful family (Antonio and Charlotta).

My mom and I recently took a cooking class with Carolina and Simona. We had the best time! It was an evening full of laughter, learning, and amazing food! It was the highlight of our Italy trip and we can’t wait to recreate the recipes. As we were on a mother/daughter trip ourselves, it was such a unique and wonderful experience to learn from another mother/daughter duo. I would recommend this experience to everyone!

The highlight of our time in Como was a private cooking class with a wonderful mother/daughter duo who welcomed us into their beautiful home, as if we were old friends. Carolina and Simona shared delicious, cherished family recipies with us while they taught us to make ravioli, polenta with sausage and delicious sugar cookies. Carolina surprised us with freshly made tiramisu to accompany the cookies we made. Both ladies were very encouraging and supportive as they put us at ease whlie we tried something new. They both share a passion for great food rooted in old family recipies. The time just flew by and before we knew it... it was time to go!
