Hi from Patrizia!

"My life is tied to the lake, this is where I have my roots and where I’m fine. I am a painter, my work allows me to manage time and the kitchen is for me my second workshop, where I can easily create dishes instead of paintings. My two children, now grown up and my husband were those who made me practice and love cooking. Hosting friends during the summer in the garden was an opportunity to understand that receiving guests is a pleasure and a personal enrichment. The ingredients of my recipes are all genuine, from local producers:  honey, cheese, fish, directly from the fisherman in Dervio, and vegetables from my garden that my husband cares with passion for many years. Our house is a bit like the houses of the past, the fireplace and the stove allow us to warm up and cook with wood, and I must say that the result of the dishes cooked on the wood stove is very good. Also in the garden we have a kitchen and, in summer, we prepare, cook and always eat outdoors."

We enjoyed our cooking lesson with Patrizia. She gave clear instructions and was very patient with us. We enjoyed the evening in her home and the food was delicious!

Patrizia, was welcoming, professional, educational and a wonderful cook. We loved every minute of the experience. We learned a lot and enjoyed a delicious meal. Thank you Patrizia!

Patrizia and Luca were exceptional hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed our time learning to make potato gnocchi and tiramisu, sampling their tasty appetizers, entrees, and wine, learning about the community, enjoying the spectacular views of the hamlet of Bellano, touring their garden, and getting to know Patrizia and Luca. This experience was a highlight of our honeymoon. We look forward to recreating the recipes with our family and friends now that we have returned to the USA! Thanks again Patrizia and Luca for welcoming us into your home and sharing some of your family's recipes with us! Wishing you and your family all the best!

Patrizia welcomed us into her home of generations. We felt steeped in the gentle precious traditions of the lake como area. From the wine and cheese with homemade focaccia to the pasta and tiramisu we made together, we felt the warmth and beauty of her traditions. Thank you Patrizia!

Patrizia and Luca were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful hosts. The view from their house is incredible and we shared stories and were taught how to cook a delightful three course meal. They truly made us feel like friends by the time we left. The experience felt like more than a cooking class- it was more like seeing old friends. We will be back!
