Lovely energetic experience - This was such a lovely experience! It was a whirlwind of a morning, both she and her husband have an incredible amount of (welcoming) energy. I felt very welcomed into their home, and it was delightful watching her run into her friends and chatting while we were out going to the market—it gave a real sense of community. I also ran into her the next day on the street, and she was lovely and friendly to me then as well. Highly recommend!

A great addition to our vacation - Paula was a perfect host and we all had a great time and learned a lot. She took time to give us a tour of her local markets and also shared some history of Parma (a very nice, small city). We then went to her home for the hands-on cooking class and meal. It was a fabulous experience that we highly recommend to anyone who wants to add a personal touch to their vacation.

Cooking with Paula in Parma - The experience involved a short walking tour around Parma and insights regarding the local food markets and important landmarks. The cooking experience was exceptional. Paula and her husband Marco are wonderful people and I was privileged to be invited in to their lovely home for the afternoon.

An Excellent Experience! - From start to finish we had a wonderful experience with our host and teacher, Paola! Getting some hands on experience making the tortelli was fun. Also making and eating the tiramisu was great!
