Gerardina

The old medieval part of Cava de’ Terreni is characterised by a series of porticoed lanes reminiscent of those in Bologna; here we meet Gerardina.When she was younger, Gerardina often needed to cook for the whole family, something that soon became her passion. She loved learning more about her family traditions. Gerardina composes her recipes with genuine produce, grown in her vegetable garden, because for the success of a dish you have to focus on the quality of the ingredients. Fortunately she lives in an area that is home to an incredible variety of produce. So, with a little imagination and respect for tradition, she makes some unforgettable dishes

We enjoyed our experience from start to finish, we were welcomed into the hosts home, shown their beautiful garden before starting on preparation of a strawberry tiramisu made from fresh ingredients. Anna was extremely patient with my daughter and I which was definitely needed when we started working on the gnocchi. It took us a while to get the technique but there were lots of laughs as we tried. At the end we sat down to eat and it just felt like having a delicious home cooked meal with family. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home. It’s an experience we won’t forget ❤️

We had such a lovely time at our cooking class. From the moment we walked in we felt so welcomed. We started with a tour of their incredible garden & chatted for a bit before starting the cooking portion. We loved learning how to make gnocchi & a classic lemoncello dessert, but I would say our favorite part throughout the evening was talking & learning more about each other.

It was a wonderful experience! We were warmly welcomed by Anna and her husband and immediately felt very welcome in their private rooms. We started with a visit to the market and shopping, and then prepared the delicacies with valuable guidance from Anna. In addition to the delicious food, we also learned a lot about the products, their production and their history. We also received many insider tips for our stay - we greatly appreciated this exchange! We came as strangers and left as friends - thank you very much!

Anna and Luigi have been very kind guests. We cooked with them with complete confidence and had a great time eating. Anna and Luigi are absolutely lovely: welcoming hosts, very attentive, and with a real knack for gnocchi. Our 3-year-old son and we had a great time, feeling right at home. Thank you!
