Hi from Monica!

“I love to write, and to read, in fact, books fill my house. I am mindful of the quality of food; I like to cook what I eat; and share the pleasure of the table with other people, friends, and guests. I am involved in the recovery of food surpluses for social solidarity purposes with the Food Bank of Lombardy Onlus in Como, where I live. I try to hand down recipes that are simple, and easy to learn by everyone, and that are connected as much as possible to the tradition of the Larian territory.”

: Monica was a joy to do the cooking class with, we both had a wonderful time. Extremely kind, helpful, and nurtured us along the way to what was a delicious couple of dishes! The food was wonderful, the company was great, and we'd highly recommend to anyone considering :)
: Our cooking class with Monica was a memorable and delightful experience. Her expertise, creativity, and ability to create a welcoming atmosphere made it a truly exceptional culinary journey. I can't wait to put my newfound skills and knowledge to use in my own kitchen, and I highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning the real way to make pasta and tiramisu. It's an experience that will leave you inspired and eager to explore the world of flavors and cuisine.
: Monica is amazing the experience from start to finish was the best! The food, the teacher, the laughter would do it again in a minute!
: We had so much fun cooking with Monica! Her home is lovely and Monica was so warm, welcoming, and fun! We made tiramisu, a Parmesan bowl and zucchini appetizer and homemade ravioli. Everything was absolutely delicious! Monica took her time to explain everything to us and made sure that we were preparing everything ourselves , with her guidance. I have already made the appetizer for my family and ordered a pasta machine and ravioli mold for our homemade ravioli. She has inspired us!!! My husband and I both agree that our cooking class with Monica was one of the best evenings of our trip!!!
: It was just lovely. Very warm setting with kind host who taught us just how to add the right Italian twist to our cooking. I’ve been influenced to order the products at home in order to recreate the recipes.
