We made pasta! Was a great visit/class! We had just the two of us, it was so cool to actually cook something myself that was so delicious & to know where all the ingredients in the food we made were from! We had a really great time & look forward to making this recipe for our friends & family at home!

What an amazing experience this was. Wow. One of the best cooking classes I have been to. My wife and I love to explore local cuisine and make it a tradition that when we go away we always do a cooking class. This was by far one of the best. We were unfortunately sightly late as we got lost! but Ornellina was very understanding. Ornellina went above and beyond as we booked it last minute and my wife had a preference of gluten and dairy free. She went above and beyond to accommodate her and I am so grateful, she is so kind and welcoming and full of so much knowledge and wisdom. We cooked outside in the lovely sun and this made the experience even better. The experience was so wholesome and we really got to cook everything from scratch and learn all about it. We made amazing fresh pesto pasta, breaded courgettes, sage infused chicken, cannelloni I would highly recommend this class with Ornellina Thank you so much for a great experience and we will definitely be back!

My two daughters and I meet Clara early in the morning by her apartment and walked to her local outdoor market. Clara was very welcoming and personable and we felt comfortable right away. It was clear from her interactions with the vendors in the market that they had an excellent relationship. We liked her philosophy of buying local and organic where possible. She even found goat Gorgonzola as I am lactose intolerant but to my surprise the vendor correctly told us that Gorgonzola even made with milk from a cow is lactose free. We walked back to her apartment where we met her husband Fabio and proceeded to cook her Winter seasonal menu. I have taken numerous cooking classes through out travels and found Clara's to be one of the best. She is very informative and makes you feel comfortable in her kitchen. It was a lovely mother-daughter activity. After finishing our cooking we ate our meal starting with some Prosecco and excellent wine pairings. All courses were delicious! We look forward to making all the recipes in Toronto.

An early Saturday morning start with a rendez vous set up at 08h30 with our hostess. We were meet by Clara our hostess and her husband Fabio. Clara explained our morning visit, with first a visit to her local butcher shop and then in to the local market. At the market most of the stalls had made an effort to decort their stands for Halloween. Clara explained to us the vast range of fruit and vegetables available from Italy and Clara was very keen to only buy Italian products and products in season. After our market visit we went back to Clara's house where we all washed out hands and moved into the kitchen to start cooking, we mad our own fresh pasta, a pumpkin and leek rissoto with cannoli shell filled with ricotta. Everything was done in a very orderly fashion and with plenty of enjoyment by everybody, at the end of cooking class we got eat everything we had cooked. At this stage I would warn everybody that you should eat only a very very small breakfast beforehand. Fabio and Clara are excellent hosts and the whole family realty enjoyed this cooking experience.

Cooking with Clara was one of my best experiences in Milano, she is so great! We cooked a vegetarian meal, all the dishes were excellent and I learned a lot from the cooking process with her. She is very helpful and professional. It's in her home so it makes it even more authentic. I definitely highly recommend this experience with or without the market walk which was also very nice.

It was a pleasure taking the class with Clara. The trip to the market and the cooking class took were great fun and we learned a lot about the food itself and how to turn it into delicious Italien dishes. Clara is a lovely person and a great teacher who made us feel at home in her kitchen and fall in love with the Italien cuisine. Our group of only four people plus Clara allowed for in depth teaching and therefore absolutely stunning results in the end. If you are looking for a place to have a great time and get to know the most delicious Italien food at the same time, look no further.

Clara is a fabulous teacher and a gracious host! I was so glad we did the version with the market tour. What a bright and colorful way to start the morning! There was something for everyone in this class. My eight year old daughter had a blast and Clara was perfect with her, just as warm and patient as you would expect an Italian grandmother to be! I have almost no cooking experience and was able to keep up and even my husband who is a trained chef learned a ton of new things, especially about making risotto. This was absolutely a top highlight of our 4 days in Milan!!

My wife and I had an amazing time and really enjoyed this cooking class with Clara. We would highly recommend this wonderful experience. Clara made it so much fun and we enjoyed spending our day with her. We spent 14 days touring Italy and without question, this was the best meal of our trip!

No matter your level or interest in cooking, I would highly recommend spending the morning/afternoon with Clara. You will most certainly have an amazing time and learn along the way. I have since shared the fantastic food and memories from this experience with many since my return and only wish I could find a Clara here in the USA!

This class was wonderful. Clara exposed us to a real Italian market, taught us about how to pick out fruits and veggies and select ingredients, warmly welcomed us into her home and kitchen, and patiently taught us how to cook several authentic Italian meals. The food was delicious!! We also got a recipe booklet to take home so we can make the dishes at home. Clara was also responsive on last-minute logistics, which I really appreciate. I intend to sign up for another course the next time I visit Milan!
