    Intimate, warm atmosphere with sisters Ilaria and Maria Luisa. We had a wonderful time, ate delicious food, and made a family memory we will never forget.

    Not just the hands on food preparation, cooking, and enjoyment, it’s all about culinary culture of home cooking. It’s the details that make right.

    Great cesarina

    Maria Luisa was excellent. She showed me how to make tortellini, and was a great teacher. She did not speak much English, but it was fun using my Italian. I would recommend this class for anyone.

    Great experience.

    Angela was so kind and halpful. We had a great time learning about not only cooking but Italian culture and experiences. The food was delicious and fun to prepare. This was a highlight of our time in Modena.

    Fantastic and enjoyable cooking class in Modena

    Emily_C, Jun 2023
    The most fantastic and enjoyable experience, with 2 wonderful hostesses in Modena. We learnt to make tagliatelle, tortelloni and tortellini, as well as tiramisu. We were made to feel so welcome by our hostesses and had such a great time from start to finish. Would highly recommend if you’d like a truly authentic and fun experience.

    Wonderful personal cooking experience

    teriknuese, May 2023
    Unique personal experience in a local home. Alena was truly hospitable sharing her family recipes and stories. Came as strangers. Left as family after a few hours working flour and egg into dough and pasta. Reintroduced to Lambrusco, Modena’s local sparkling wine bringing back memories of my own Mom circa 1978. Viator should correct the description to exclude Tiramisu which is not local to the region and requires two days to prepare. Description misleading. We made an alternate chocolate cake, equally fantastic.

    Wonderful!

    It was a wonderful experience.. Raffaela welcomed us in her beautiful furnished appartment. She taught us how to prepare two sorts of pasta, and Tiramisu and the tasty starters. She was the perfect host, gave us lots of good cooking hints, and created a warm family atmosphere. We fully enjoyed this event!

    If you like food, do it!
