Intimate and wholesome experience - The experience was intimate and wholesome! You have the pleasure of meeting like minded foodies. The host, Genevieve was lovely, she invites you into her home just off the lake which has incredible views. The food was aithentic Italian, simplistic and so tasty. We made aubergine parmigiana, ricotta ravioli with brown butter and crispy sage, followed by limoncello tiramisu.
A lovely lunch time experience. I will definitely be recommending it to family and friends. Thank you for having us!

Enchanting food experience - The event was well organized, unhurried and a delight from start to finish. First came a welcome with delicious snacks and prosecco, in a room with 180 degrees view of the lake in the host's fabulous apartment (former convent). Then preparation of a three course meal, with beautiful fresh ingredients and lovely tools/workstations, in a gorgeous open kitchen. The teaching was clear and I was amazed that we were able to prepare such sophisticated yet simple dishes. The meal was paired with lovely wine and consumed with much banter and discussion of the recipes, the ingredients, the local cuisine, the history of the local nook of the lake, and much more. Hats off to the host and her helper, they were gracious and clearly inspired to share their passion for Italian cuisine.

A fun and appetizing day in Lake Como - A very tasteful and fun experience! Genevieve and her assistant Karen do an amazing job making the class fun and telling the history of the area as you prepare, cook and enjoy the food you make. You will not leave hungry and you will learn some great recipes and cooking tips. The location and views from her amazing house are stunning. I would highly recommend that you add this to your Lake Como itinerary!
