More than Excellent

Sharing the shopping experience and the language and his very specific techniques in cooking the meal; totally different than what is shown on TV; more than excellent.

Food is a universal language

Speaking with a well informed chef who made excellent suggestions regarding food and its preparation.

Make and Cook Italian Food in the Home of an Italian Cook

We had a very enjoyable 5 hours with Catia. We met at the market at Piazza Erbe. She took us through the outside produce market and indoor meat and cheese market. All the while she gave a historical summary of the many buildings around Piazza Erbe. When we arrived at her house we were put to work making tiramisu, cicchetti and bigoli pasta our thirst quenched by some very good local Cabernet Franc. We highly recommend the tour with Catia

A wonderful day of cooking with a new friend!

Published on Jun, 2023

My cooking experience with Catia was the highlight of my time in Padua. She was so generous and passionate about sharing her love of cooking, drawing on her family history as well as her own. This was not the cooking class I expected, rather, it was a special day with a friend who had invited me to her home and kitchen. And of course, the food we made together was amazing! This is an experience I will never forget!

Magical and memorable experience

Published on Jun, 2023

When we first met Catia, she was so warm and knowledgeable as she guided us through the market place, and sharing the history of her beautiful city and all the best places to get our favorite items, then she so generously treated us to a cappuccino and we were on our way to her home to cook. What a magical experience to be truly immersed in the culture of Padua through meeting Catia’s family and hearing of her generations of cooking Venetian traditions and picking ingredients from her own garden! We started with a Venetian appetizer of chichetti, which were like tapas but each was a work of art. And Catia is an artist! A painter! Then we made homemade Venetian pasta called Bigoli on her grandmother’s heirloom pasta maker and then we made traditional tiramisu. It was organized and at the same time relaxed. She had so much patience for all of our questions and our messy spills and we truly feel like we made a lifelong friend. This experience was the highlight of our trip and one that our family will never forget!
