Fun family class

Charley_L, Jul 2024

We enjoyed the personalized cooking lesson provided by Federica. She was very knowledgeable and patient with us as we prepared pineapple gelato and homemade tiramisu. We made every part of the tiramisu from scratch and not with premade processed ingredients as we might typically do in the US. Lots of fun but be prepared that the kitchen is hot as Italian kitchens are not air conditioned. Federica took photos and explained the process for both recipes well and made the experience unforgettable.

Pedarika is awesome. Explained every step, why it is important and shared some history. She treats you like family and made the kitchen so comfortable. Great birthday gift for my brothers. Her English is perfecto.

Fabulous fun family time together! Working in the actual bakery kitchen with the owner and pastry chef. Made everything from scratch. our guide was very helpful so she could translate instructions, questions, and answers. Emailed us the recipe immediately so we can try again at home.

this was fantastic, our guide Antonia was great, would recommend it, the only problem was the directions were not easy to understand and we had to ask two different people.
