Highly recommend cooking with Mauro and his wife! - Mauro and his wife were wonderful hosts. Beautiful house with a pizza oven in their kitchen! The food was delicious, we got to help cook it ourselves. Loved making the homemade pasta. The wine was very delicious too. Pizza was so good, so was the apple cake. I would do this again with the same people if I ever come back!

Good fun - There were some hiccups in communication getting the class/arrival arranged, but once we figured it out, we had a great time. Cristina has a passion for food that shines through and we were happy to have her share her expertise in pasta making with us. We went home full!

The best way to learn about food in Parma…be taught how to cook it yourself!! - What a fantastic time spent at Christina and Enzo’s beautiful home in central city Parma. The instructions were clear, the food was authentic and delicious and it was the highlight of my few days in Parma! I highly recommend this, no matter your level of cooking. I will definitely go back!

A wonderful evening - My wife and my parents signed up for this not knowing what to expect. We were so happy we did. Paola was a fantastic host and we had a great time making pasta and famous Parma dishes. Her husband Mario joined us for dinner and we had a lovely time speaking to them about Italy and the world during dinner. Mario even drove us back to our hotel when we were concerned about finding a taxi. A highlight of our trip to Italy, it was really everything we were hoping for. Thanks Paola and Mario!!!
