Best experience we’ve had - This was the highlight of our entire 4 weeks in Italy. It was such an authentic way to get to know Italy and Parma. Mauro had such joy when cooking and teaching people how to cook. To top it off the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend to anyone - a must do.

Wonderful and Authentic: Highlight of Trip - The hospitality of Christina and Enzo was both authentic and heartwarming. We enjoyed the conversations during the food prep which used only the finest and freshest ingredients! We enjoyed learning from Christina about her craft, at which she is masterful! We enjoyed the banter with Enzo, but most of all, we enjoyed the most amazing meal from Parma.

My husband and I had such... - My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Cristina. She was so warm and welcoming and opened her home to us! Cooking with her in Parma in her kitchen was so very special. It took me back to my grandmother's kitchen. Food was amazing and the company was equally as great! I highly recommend to anyone visiting Parma and wants to learn how to cook an authentic Northern Italian meal!

More than a cooking class - This is a great excuse to get out to Parma. We were staying in Bologna and took a day trip to Modena and Parma. We had a 5pm class with Christina which gave us an opportunity to see the church in Parma and end our day with Christina and Enzo for dinner. It’s really about the energy of this couple. You end up feeling like your with your Italian parents/grandparents. My 18 year old daughter joked that Christina gave my daughters own grandmother a little competition. Enzo is so incredibly charming and fun! Christina is an incredible cook and just lovely!!! Your going to fall in love with them! They are so loving, patient and kind! The bonus is their home is gorgeous. It’s from the 1400s. You will feel enveloped in Italian culture. They showed us their garden. We talked about real life things. I actually want to stay in touch with them I liked them so much.

Intimate Italian experience - This is a very intimate tour inside the home of Christina, a traditional cook with the presence of her own mother. Displayed are Christina’s mother’s pots and pans on the wall above a traditional wood pizza oven. All original recipes were indexed and carefully preserved. Enso the husband of Christina is a jovial presence that knew to stay out of his wife’s kitchen during our lesson and join us with our completed meal. The actual experience of being in a Italian home for a cooking experience is the best tour I could have dreamed of. I am excited to replicate the cooking of vegetable cake and tiramisu, in my own home with friends and family.
