Hi from Gisella!

Stresa is an elegant and charming town on Lake Maggiore, full of luxurious hotels, period buildings and beautiful Art Nouveau villas. It is very pleasant to take a walk along the lakeside promenade among flower gardens and small restaurants. The small historic city center is very picturesque, with nineteenth century buildings, terraces full of flowers and the cozy home of Gisella, our Cesarina. We could say that Gisella was 'born in a hotel.' She lived in one until she was 12 years old. In her family’s hotel, she would prepare a snack in the restaurant, eat in the dining room and was prepared simple desserts by the staff. Her passion for the culinary arts was nurtured in this environment, and now she’s a Cesarina!

My husband and I enjoyed our private Italian cooking class with Gisella. We appreciated her warm welcome and her culinary tips. We left her home delighted and motivated to cook delicious Italian dishes and, of course, desserts like tiramisu! We recommend this wonderful expérience!

We had a wonderful experience with Gisella. Her home was welcoming, she was patient with us and we had nice conversations in addition to delicious food.

Gisella’s presentation was very good, and we enjoyed sharing lunch with her husband and Gisella. We would have liked to be able to chose other Piedmont dishes as well
