A memorable evening with an excellent chef!!! - My husband and I spent a wonderful evening with Eugenia and her husband. It could not have been better. The meal was excellent. Eugenia is truly a very good cook. We enjoyed each course - Antipasto was perfect - peppers, tuna and capers, the Agnolotti, again, perfect and the breaded chicken served with cabbage was wonderful the flavors blended together perfectly. Desert and limoncello night cap ended the evening. I enjoyed discussing the preparation of the food and the menu. It was just a lovely evening. Food conversation - it was memorable. Recommend that you have dinner with Eugenia in her lovely home with her charming husband.

A wonderful cooking, eating, and socializing experience - Eugenia (Jenni) and her husband welcomed us into their beautiful apartment in the hills for a lunch cooking class. Jenni was so organized and a great teacher: we made an antipasto - roasted peppers with a tuna/parsley/caper/anchovy paste, egg topping, a main course - angolotti filled with a pork/rabbit/beef mixture, and dessert -strawberry tiramisu. The pace was relaxed as was the actual meal. At a beautifully set table, my husband and I enjoyed food, wine and easy conversation with Jenni and her husband. Upon leaving, Jenni presented us with a tiny box of her homemade cookies. A great experience all around - I highly recommend asking for Jenni specifically when you book a lesson.

Brilliant experience , highly recommend - When we arrived , we offered prosecco and nibbles and felt very welcomed. We then started making our 3 course meal. You can tell benedetta had a fountain of knowledge on italian foods and was very passionate about it. It was very interesting all the different history and regions of food . Once we cooked the food , we then sat on the balcony and ate with glasses of wine . Was incredible experience and would highly recommend it .

The best memory of our trip in Turin - With Eugenia Jenni and his family, you feel from the very beginning like old friends. She received us, and our chow-chow dog Yuki with warmth and simplicity.
Learning how to make agnolotti with Jenni is just a real pleasure, and so fun when out result is not really perfect ;-)
She explains with so much kindness and patience that at least, we succeeded.
Then it was so nice to share our dinner with the family, Jenni, her husband, her son and daughter in law, speaking italien and english, sharing good italian wine, our home-made agnolotti, and so much surprises and desserts Jenni had prepared for us.
If you have planned one evening in Turin, just check if Jenni is available, it would probably the best memory of your trip !
