Anna

Cernobbio is a quaint village nestled between the splendor of Lake Como and the nearby mountains. An area in which nature, history and art are inseparably connected. A place that manages to evoke innumerable emotions, images and literary memories, from Plinio to Foscolo, from Stendhal to Manzoni."That branch of Lake Como ..." is therefore the perfect opening words to present Anna, our Cesarina, who welcomes us to her splendid home, surrounded by greenery and with a view, of course, of the lake. Anna tells us how her Cesarina adventure began: "everything started a bit for fun. We organized dinners with friends, voting for the best dish. Then with a friend, we started organizing themed dinners and now, with the support of my mother, who is an excellent cook, I'm a Cesarina!"An excellent Cesarina, who loves to cook dishes full of 'flavors from the lake,’ accompanied by fresh vegetables from the garden. She then alternates these wonderful fish dishes with fanciful recipes created using ingredients from the nearby mountains.

We booked a private cooking class with Cesarina Anna at her home in Cernobbio for the first day of our wedding festivities, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin the weekend. From the moment we arrived, Anna, her family, and friends made us feel so welcome in her beautiful home. We spent the afternoon learning to make traditional Italian dishes, taking in the gorgeous views, and then sitting down together to enjoy everything we had made. It felt warm, relaxed, and so genuinely Italian. What we loved most was seeing all of our guests cooking, eating, drinking, and laughing together. It was exactly the kind of experience we had hoped to share with everyone and set such a wonderful tone for the rest of our wedding weekend. Anna, thank you for opening your home to us and making our first celebration so memorable. Our guests absolutely loved it, and we’ll always look back on that afternoon with so much fondness!

Mike Catanzaro - 

Anna and Benny were excellent hosts and teachers. They made us feel right at home and taught us to fold, fill and finish Ravioli like they were passing down a family recipe. After we finished making our meal they treated us to wine, cheese and views of Lake Como at their beautiful table. If you are looking for a relaxed and fun cooking experience in Como this is where you book.
