We we’re welcomed into their home as if we were long time friends. Christine and Enzo were warm and enthusiastic. Enzo gave us a tour of their incredible garden. The food was marvelous, the atmosphere homey and the company fantastic!

Our host was exceptional!! Lisa & Max made our anniversary so incredible- it really felt like we were going over to a dear friend’s home for dinner. I highly recommend booking this experience!

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!

This was one of the best food classes i have ever done. Paola was gracious in her beautiful home and we got expert instruction on making pasta by hand. Great fun. Delicious food.

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.

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.

Christina was an excellent host. My wife and I had a ball learning how to cook Italian. Would recommend highly. Great authentic experience in her home. Afterward, we had a great supper with she and her husband. Lots of laughs!

Grazie Enzo e Christina, you welcomed us into your home and shared your love of food and family. My son and I throughrouly enjoyed our cooking experience and can not wait to recreate your delights for family at home. Your kitchen was as warm and wonderful as your hospitality. I can recommend this experience to anyone with a passion for food, fun, and culture. He mihinui kia korua mo tou manakitanga. Ka nui te aroha kia korua. If you are ever in New Zealand, please come and let us cook for you both! Noeleen and Taina Fox-Matamua.

Cesarina was a great host making multiple local dishes we cannot find outside of Parma. She was also very friendly sharing about her life.

Absolutely the best experience I’ve had in Italy. The knowledge, patience and enthusiasm of the host was incredible. Class was in their home which was wonderfully comfortable. Would love to take another class from the same instructor. Pasta turned out good. Tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had. Host served local wine with the meal which was perfectly paired for our meal. Book this experience with confidence that you’ll have a great time!
