What a wonderful truly Calabrese experience! From meeting Francesca and learning about her history to walking the vineyards with Antonio and learning the history of the land and beautiful building to working beside Luana as she taught us how to make pasta, Fileja, Tropea style potatoes cooked in a “testu”, and delicious cantuccini that we used in a dessert with sweet ricotta! Loved that we got to bring the recipes home so we can try these recipes again! It was a perfect sized class of three of us! I would highly recommend this class!!
Dear Mary, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed such an authentic Calabrese experience with us. It was a pleasure to share our family history, the vineyards, and the traditions of our land with you. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed making Fileja pasta, Tropea-style potatoes and our delicious cantuccini and ricotta dessert alongside Luana. Knowing that you took the recipes home to recreate these dishes makes us even happier! We’re also glad that the small class size made the experience even more special and personal. Thank you for your kind recommendation, Mary. We truly hope to welcome you back to Calabria for another memorable experience in the future!
The Roots and Flavours Cooking School in Brattirò offers a culinary experience immersed in Calabrian tradition, enriched by an authentic and suggestive architectural context. The school is housed in historic buildings built with traditional techniques, such as the use of sun-dried mud bricks, typical of rural architecture in Vibonese. Beautiful experience, recommended
Grazie di cuore per la tua splendida recensione! Siamo felicissimi che l’esperienza alla Roots and Flavours Cooking School ti abbia lasciato un ricordo così positivo. Per noi è un onore condividere le tradizioni culinarie e architettoniche della nostra amata Calabria, e sapere che hai apprezzato la magia dei nostri edifici in mattoni di fango e l’atmosfera autentica ci riempie di gioia. Ti aspettiamo di nuovo, magari per scoprire insieme nuove ricette e sapori della nostra terra!
Everything perfect but the thing that struck me most is the architecture! Besides being wonderful, the story that accompanies it is fascinating. I discovered things I didn't know and in addition to learning how to make pasta at home I also learned fundamental things about the territory and architecture. Thank you so much
Grazie di cuore per aver condiviso la tua esperienza! Siamo felici che l’architettura ti abbia incantata: è una parte fondamentale della nostra identità, fatta di terra, sole e storie antiche. Vedere i nostri ospiti emozionarsi non solo per la cucina ma anche per il patrimonio che ci circonda è ciò che dà senso al nostro lavoro. Torna presto a trovarci: c’è ancora tanto da scoprire, tra sapori autentici e bellezza senza tempo.
Thank you so much Luana and Francesca for the great and authentic experience and service. I loved learning about the traditional ways in which pasta can be made, luana was friendly and really passionate about sharing her love and knowledge of her culture and traditions. Francesca also has great insights and knowledge about the typical architecture which was showcased by the unique location. I definitely recommend this class. We had so much fun and I would come back anytime :)
