Cooking and dining at local's home in Milan - Really enjoyed my cooking and dining experience with Sandra. She was very accommodating, patient and cheerful. I learned how to make tagliatelle pasta and tried several interesting antipasti dishes. The main course was polpettone with eggplant. And tiramisu as desert. Sandra also provided her recipes, something to try at home! Highly recommended!

The Heart of Italian Cooking! - Giuliano warmly welcomed us into her home. She is fabulous! She patiently showed us how to make fresh pasta, and how to cook with fresh ingredients from the garden. I think we had our best meal in Milan with Giuliano. We also met 2 of her son's, which made it a fun interactive mix of cultures. Such a friendly, fun, educational cooking class - highly recommend!

Cooking with Giuliana - I had the best day with Giuliana and her family. Giuliana has so much passion for cooking and is the best teacher. She is so welcoming, kind and patient and this was one of the best experiences of my holiday in Europe, learning to make fettuccine, ravioli and my favorite - tiramisu! I would love to come back again and learn more and share a meal and laughs with the family again! :)
