Hi from Cristina!

Cristina welcomes her guests in a villa surrounded by greenery with large outdoor spaces and large windows, where you can admire the garden and the centuries-old olive trees. A little corner of paradise not far from the center of the Eternal City. "Since my tender age I have always looked with admiration the love with which my grandmother, of Apulian origins, worked for hours in the kitchen. I still remember her hands and her aprons, often soiled with flour and the aroma of 'good things and genuine' that spread throughout the house and enveloped me in a pleasant feeling of well-being."

I very much enjoyed the class put together by Cristina in her beautiful home. I learned a lot that one can't glean from just looking at a recipe, eg. type of flour, the feel of the dough, specifics on the sourcing of pecorino, relationship between cache e pepe, gricia, carbonara and Amatriciana. These Roman pasta recipes are deceptively simple so the quality of ingredients and the technique are paramount and Cristina taught us well. Every dish we made came out perfectly. I can't wait to make these again now that I'm back home.

Bellissima esperienza con la mia famiglia da Cristina . Abbiamo imparato a cucinare fettuccine, gnocchi e ravioli insieme alla nostra bimba di 4 anni ! Una bellissima domenica

I had so much fun learning with Cristina, making 2 pastas and the 4 Roman pasta sauces in her beautiful home setting. I am looking forward to taking another class next year and bringing my husband. It was a great experience.

I had tried many times to make cacio e peppe and it was never right. When I saw Christina’s class, I jump on it. It was just perfect, her home is in this beautiful oasis with olive trees and a nice backyard, 15 min. from Vatican city Roma. It was just a lot of fun. Christina was a great teacher showing us all the tricks and answering every questions we had. We made the 4 Roman pasta dishes: Cacio e peppe, Gricia (now my favorite), carbonnara, Amatriciana. Soooo delicious and a truly wonderful experience ! Now I can make a killer Cacio e peppe ! Ha ! Grazie Christina !
