We loved the experience of learning to cook with Barbara. She spent a great amount of time instructing us on how to properly prepare the food. You could tell she had a strong passion for food and all the ingredients.

Our group had so much fun! The atmosphere was amazing and so fun to be in. The wine was delicious and the food was amazing. I can’t wait to try these recipes at home even though they will nowhere close to Barbara’s. If I come back to Italy I will definitely book another cooking class with her!

My granddaughter and I had the most delightful time learning to make ravioli, tagliatelle pasta, and tiramisu from Giulia! Giulia is an excellent teacher, very encouraging of our efforts to follow her instructions, and we enjoyed a delightful lunch of all the delicious Italian foods we made! We strongly encourage others to book this experience. Very much worth your time.

We had the most amazing time cooking with Giulia! Her preparation was excellent, her explanations (in very good English) were very clear, and we had lots of fun! I really recommend doing the cooking class with Giulia! It was one of the highlights of our month in Italy!
