Cernobbio: Show Cooking & Dining at a Local’s Home

Our private cooking class with Debora and Maddy on Lake Como was one of the most personal experiences of our trip. We came for our anniversary and left feeling like we’d spent the afternoon with friends. This is not a staged class in a rented loft. It’s a real home, real hands in the dough, and two women who clearly love feeding people. They guided us through the recipes at a pace that never felt rushed, explained the “why” behind the steps, and made room for conversation. The food we cooked together was simple in the best way — the kind you want to make again when you get home. What stayed with us wasn’t only the meal. It was the welcome. Debora and Maddy made a private class feel intimate without being stiff, and the lake setting did the rest. Highly recommend Cooking Class Lake Como. Book Debora and Maddy if you can.

Amazing home cooking experience! It was truly so wholesome and we had the best time. Silvana made our occasion unforgettable from start to end! We got to help cook and enjoyed the food SO much.

Fantastic! Would do it again. Wonderful home and hosts. Welcoming. Delicious food . Wonderful location.

What a wonderful experience with truly amazing hosts. Anna’s cooking class was the best I’ve experienced. We now have life long memories we will share with many. Many thanks to Anna and Terri. Arrivederci!

This message is to Debora , I wanted to take a moment to express our extreme satisfaction with the private cooking class my husband and I had with you in Lake Como. We were beyond impressed with the entire experience – from the beautiful setting of your home with its breathtaking views of Lake Como to your warm and welcoming hospitality. We truly felt as if we were at home. Your guidance in teaching me how to prepare the pasta was invaluable, and the entire meal – from the delicious starter to the two-course meal and finally, the divine tiramisu – was absolutely unforgettable. Not to mention, the wine complemented everything perfectly. This evening will forever be etched in our memories as a night to remember. We are so grateful for your generosity and the care you put into making the evening special. Thank you again for everything! Warm regards, May L

What a wonderful, fun evening. Not only did we learn a great deal about Italian cuisine, but also was made to feel like family. Debora was well prepared and dinner was in a beautiful home with a magnificent view. Of course, dinner was fabulous. If I come back to Como, this is the first event I would book! Bon Appetit!!!

They were so wonderful and we also made our own raviolis. Food was excellent and everyone was so friendly

Debora was a wonderful host. She made the experience very memorable by preparing a four course meal and demonstrating how to make ravioli. Her home is warm and she is very welcoming and informative.
