We hadsuch a good time. Barbara was patient with us, we enjoyed making pasta, a yummy tomatoe sauce and delicious panacotta with a strawberry couli. Barbara is an excellent chef with the patience of a saint. We would definitely recommend this to anyone.
This is a perfect way to learn a couple of recipes to take home to impress your friends. It’s also a wonderful way to get an informal tour of the city. Loved spending time with Nadine. Felt like cooking with a cousin.
This is a fantastic experience and something we highly recommend. We had such an amazing time with Rosana and we made homemade pasta, sea bass, and tiramisu. I especially appreciated an alternative recipe for tiramisu with lemon instead of coffee and it was delicious. 10/10 experience…book this one!
We had the most wonderful experience with Patrizia and was so glad we managed to squeeze this in to our trip. The venue is beautiful, authentic and the views of Venice are amazing. Patrizia had prepared delicious cicchetti for us with a chilled bottle of prosecco to take in the views. We then made tiramisu, Patrizia was a great teacher! Once the tiramisu was chilled in the fridge, we started to make pasta which was very informative. Once this was done, Patrizia cooked our pasta for us and then served the tiramisu. Patrizia gave us lots of Italian recommendations (not just for Venice). Thank you Patrizia for welcoming us in to you home, taking lots of candid pictures of us and being a very patient teacher.
This cooking class was the best part of our trip to Venice. I cannot give it enough stars! Patrizia home has a GORGEOUS view. Her kitchen is brand new, spacious and neat as a pin. My kids (ages 8 and 10) all hit it off with Patrizia. She is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and charming. We made bigoli, ravioli, salad, and panna cotta. All delicious and free of cow's milk due to my daughter's allergy. She bought only the highest quality ingredients and we even had a chance to visit a former monastery that is now artisan studios. While there, we got to see a glass-blower at work and admire his beautiful pieces. I recommend a cooking class with Patrizia wholeheartedly - she is the hostess the mostest, a patient, engaging teacher, a talented chef, and a proud Italian who wants to share her country's best. Next week is my birthday and we will be making ravioli a la Patrizia!
Time with Giulia our cesarina was the highlight of our visit. Learning about how she grew up as we passed by her familiar places, watching her with the local vendors offering produce and fish were very interesting. Preparing the meal, learning new techniques, cooking secrets, mixed with great stories and wonderful music. And the meal turned out beautiful and delicious. Guilia provided an excellent experience that is unique and customized to you. Highly recommend!
We had the best time cooking with Patricia. She welcomed us into her home and we made bruschetta and pasta and fish, meat and dessert. It was a once in a lifetime experience and one we’ll never forget.
