Paola

I bring to the table dishes from three borders: Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. From my birth family, typical peasant dishes of Friulian tradition like frico, dishes with vegetables from the garden that follow the seasons, or artisan cured meats (my husband is a charcuterie enthusiast). Steaming polenta also accompanies game dishes such as wild boar or roe deer. From my husband's family, I learned more Nordic and Slavic traditions like sauerkraut, goulash, and potica. I also enjoy working with sourdough to prepare bread and focaccia.

We want to thank you for this culinary experience of the highest quality, not only because we were welcomed like beloved family, but also because it was of the highest class in terms of taste! We were also allowed to help with the cooking and learned how to make many dishes in the process. So, at the very least, we know we want to make a Frico! Absolutely top quality and, in this pleasant atmosphere of Paola, Loris and Amelia, a must-have experience for anyone interested in cooking and enjoying good food! Thank you!

It was absolutely wonderful! We have never attended a course like this before. At Paola’s home, we immediately felt comfortable and welcome. It’s impossible to describe how great Paola’s hospitality is. She even organized her own translator, who was equally wonderful and friendly. All that remains to say is: Wonderful. Unique. An experience of a special class! Thank you for every single minute! Tanja & Michael, Vienna

The whole experience was amazing, definitely the best highlight to my trip to Italy. Paola and her family were most welcoming and the food was incredible from starts to dessert, also learning new techniques and skills in the kitchen was great. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to try traditional, authentic Italian food 🇮🇹 😁
