Experiences

In the kitchen, at the table, among the olive trees. Time to learn and feel well.

In the kitchen with Giovannella.

❖
Cooking class

Love, one small gesture at a time.

Giovannella welcomes you into her kitchen to share family recipes and little secrets learned over time. A graduate of the Accademia Italiana di Cucina, she is a Cesarina: part of the network of home cooks who preserve and pass on Italian tradition.

During the class, you knead, watch and ask questions. Even soaking broad beans becomes a discovery: understanding why it is done and how they change by morning teaches you to respect the time ingredients need. Every gesture reveals the care that goes into cooking for someone.

Then you sit down to eat together. You take home recipes, skills to practise and the pleasure of finding a little of this day in your own kitchen.

From those who have cooked with us

«A brilliant cooking class from start to finish.»

«Can’t wait to go home to try all that we learned today!»

A restaurant, a pizza or a picnic: Giovannella and Giuseppe recommend places they know, make reservations and pass on your preferences. They also arrange taxis and transport.
