"For me, being in front of the stove is really a pleasure, which I often share with our friends. Pleasure in preparing something genuine that often takes us back to the kitchens of our grandmothers, crowded with relatives, especially during the holidays. Our territory is rich in poor but exceptional products, which I like to serve in the simplest way possible, precisely to enhance them. "

- Francesca very patiently taught our 3 kids (ages 8, 11, and 13) how to make focaccia and orecchiette and macaroni. The kids loved kneading dough and making shapes. She is very sweet and speaks good English! Lunch was lovely and it was interesting to be in a real home. Highly recommend, especially to families!
- We enjoyed our time with Francesca making focaccia and orecchiette. Francesca’s passion for cooking was evident. We felt very welcomed in her home and got to meet her family. This class was a unique and authentic experience.
- Learn, cook, and eat in a friendly family atmosphere. A true moment of sharing and pleasure.
- My wife and I had a fabulous time learning how to make orecchiette and focaccia with Francesca. She was a great teacher, helping us create a wonderful lunch shared in her home. Highly recommended!
- A great experience. I cannot say enough about it. I would highly recommend this. And best of all, we shared a home-cooked meal, made from our labor. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Best meal we've had in Italy.
