Hi from Monica!

“I love to write, and to read, in fact, books fill my house. I am mindful of the quality of food; I like to cook what I eat; and share the pleasure of the table with other people, friends, and guests. I am involved in the recovery of food surpluses for social solidarity purposes with the Food Bank of Lombardy Onlus in Como, where I live. I try to hand down recipes that are simple, and easy to learn by everyone, and that are connected as much as possible to the tradition of the Larian territory.”

: Booked for me and my friend and it was an amazing experience. Monica was so accomadating and friendly and the instructions were easy to follow. A session filled with laughs for sure and I definitely recommend.
: This experience was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip. Monica’s home is stunning, clean, and so intricately designed we were enamored. She greeted us with the best meats and cheeses we have ever had. She then taught us how to cook homemade pasta, provided us with the best wine we’ve ever had, and spent so much time teaching us about the ingredients and quality of each item. It was such an unforgettable experience and we are so grateful for her kindness and fun she brought to cooking! She even helped walk me through a few types of sauces and oils to try at home. She felt like my own nana, we are so grateful ❤️
