Morena

Morena gives us a taste Experience dedicated to the flavors of the Como cuisine and some typical Larian dishes; the "Larian Triangle" is the area between the two branches of Lake Como and the southern hills between Como and Lecco. In this area, compared to many traditional foods of Northern Italy, the local cuisine is very diverse: in addition to rice, corn and potatoes, there is extensive use of coarse grains, buckwheat and chestnuts; as far as meat, white meat or venison is preferred and freshwater fish is also often used.This cuisine is characteristically original, particularly for the choice of condiments: the favorites are butter and lard, staples in the Po area tradition, contrasted with the abundant use of locally produced olive oil, as well as linseed, walnut and rapeseed vegetable oils.

We had a wonderful time and felt very comfortable and warmly welcomed from the very beginning. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, allowing us to enjoy the course to the fullest. The food was excellent – prepared together with a lot of love and simply delicious. Every step was explained and demonstrated clearly, so we were able to learn a lot while having a great deal of fun. A very special thank you goes to Morena. With her warm, open, and friendly nature, she ensured that we felt completely welcome and well taken care of. You can tell how much passion she puts into the course. We wholeheartedly recommend this cooking course and would participate again at any time. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!

We had an amazing time! Morena was a very warm and welcoming host with a beautiful home. By our experience she is clearly a brilliant cook and an excellent teacher too. Besides the cooking we had a lovey time just chatting with her as she was such a wonderful host. Thank you very much for being the best part of our stay in Como!

Morena was super friendly and welcoming. We learned a lot about Italian cooking and culture. It was a great way to learn how to cook Italian food first hand and it was very tasty. We will be using the provided recipes and tips at home.

Morena was very well organized and very accommodating for my husband who doesn’t have good use of one of his hands. The food we made was delicious and will be easy to replicate at home. Thank you Morena for being a gracious hostess.
