Hi from Sara!

Tradition is an innovation that has brought us this far. Starting from the local raw materials, I transform them following both the lessons from my mother and grandmother and the techniques learned through studies and travels. For me, cooking is primarily about conviviality, sharing, and exchange... Always accompanied by a good glass of wine! I prefer first courses and baked goods, smoked meats, and recently I have been producing homemade cured meats. My favorite dish... It's the next one I'll have the opportunity to try!

An Italian Feast to Remember with Sara and Alessio. An absolute must while visiting Turin. From the moment we arrived at Sara and Alessio’s home, their warmth and openness made us feel completely at ease - like we were visiting old friends. We began with a hands-on pasta-making session, where Sara and Alessio gently guided us through traditional techniques while weaving in stories and traditions of the local area. We discovered the history and meaning behind each type of pasta. It was both fun and educational, and Sara and Alessio guided us patiently through every step, making it easy to relax and enjoy the process. With our pasta crafted, the dining began: the starter featured a range of small plates, including exquisite eggs and soft, flavorful focaccia bread that immediately showcased the quality of local ingredients and tradition but most importantly, home-made talented cooking. Then came the highlight: the pasta we had made ourselves, served as a main course. The taste was simply outstanding - fresh, rich and authentic. A wonderful wine was paired beautifully, elevating every bite. For dessert, we indulged in a sweet treat that perfectly closed the meal. Beyond the flavours, Sara and Alessio shared so much of themselves - stories of the region, food techniques and their lives. Alessio’s passion for curing meats added another layer of depth to the experience, making it feel less like a class and more like a heartfelt exchange. In every moment, they were outstanding and thoughtful hosts, blending authentic tradition with genuine conviviality. This wasn’t just a cooking class - it was a rich and wholesome experience through food, wine and storytelling. An absolute highlight of our travels. Thank you Sara and Alessio.

We did the course with my 3 children. We all had a brilliant time and Sara and Alessio were fantastic hosts. I would really recommend the course.

Sara and Alessio were the prefect hosts - this is a MUST DO during your trip to Turin. We learned to make three types of pasta while sharing family traditions and stories. I guarantee this will be the highlight of our European vacation. Sara and Alessio shared many tips and tricks we will take home. After making the pasta, they served the meal on their private veranda with accompanying wine. It was pure perfection. Perfect for families… I was there with my teenage children and aging parents (mid/70s). Fun for all!!!!

Highlight of our trip to Torino. This was much more than a cooking class and became an immersion in Northern Italian culture and cuisine. We are incredibly grateful to Sara for her hospitality, patience, and teaching skills, and for sharing her beautiful kitchen and home with us. The first thing we did when we got home was buy a pasta maker. The second thing we did was plan our next trip to Torino!
