A Dream Come True in Lake Como - Taking this cooking experience with Genivieve and Karin was truly a dream come true. Growing up watching celebrity chefs cook against stunning backdrops, I always imagined myself doing something similar one day — and this was exactly that moment.
As a solo traveler, I was welcomed with such warmth and kindness by our lovely hosts. Genivieve and Karin are not only incredibly sweet, but also passionate about what they do. We cooked the most delicious lunch using fresh, local produce, and every bite was filled with love and flavor.
What made the experience even more special was meeting a group of wonderful people from all over the world. Everyone had unique stories to share, and the sense of connection around the kitchen table was something I’ll never forget.
I would absolutely take this experience again every time I visit Como — it has become a must for me now. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, and I’ll be telling all my friends to book it too.
Thank you, Genivieve and Karin, for an unforgettable day!

Delightful & Delicious - This cooking class was pure delight. I felt so comfortable with learning how to prepare homemade pasta dough and use a pasta roller/machine. The dishes we created were easy and delicious. I enjoyed the teamwork and shared tasks. Our kitchen classroom was open and airy with a spacious work space. Made for a great start to my Italy adventure. Can’t wait to get cookin’ when I get home. Thank you!

Fun, Approachable Cooking Class - The whole cooking class experience was amazing. Genevieve and Karen were wonderful hosts, they explained the history of the area, art of the food in a fun, approachable experience. We actually cooked all three courses, which was a lot to accomplish in this timeframe. The whole experience went by so fast and it was put together nicely for the price. HIGHLY Recommend. From one foodie to another this is five stars.

Fresh local ingredients and a delicious lunch! - Genevieve and Karin made us feel right at home the minute we walked in. Genevieve taught us how to make 3 delicious dishes from scratch and was able to accommodate gluten free for me with absolutely no problem. We really enjoyed our lunch with our new friends in a picturesque setting right on Lake Como. Highly recommended!
