Great Meal and Company - Monica was our generous chef & teacher. We were teamed with a young couple that were on their honeymoon from North East US that fit us well. We learned pasta skills, sauce and Teramisu for desert. All parts of our experience was an A++. All food and wine were perfect and we would and have highly recommended this for anyone with a slight interest to do this if you can. The store/market visit was nice and informative, but it was still shopping! 😉

Cooking experience - The experience was great. We visited a goat farm where a specialty cheese was produced. Had a tasting. The baby goats were so cute. Next we went to a berry farm. It was May so the blueberries were not ripe but the strawberries were. The owner make jams. We came back to Cesarine's home and made cream desert, a rustic buckwheat flour pasta and an appetizer with the goat cheese and saffron honey (which complemented the cheese exellently). The dinner portion of the reservation was great. The owners and ourselves had lots to talk about and they were great hosts. Wine was great and pasta dish exceptional. I don't like crudo so she tailored the meal around that.

A fabulous day with Vincenzo! - A fabulous day with Vincenzo! He welcomed us into his beautiful modern apartment with a glass of Prosecco. First he guided us through a dessert recipe and then a fun-filled and ultimately delicious pasta making session. He provided info on cooking techniques and ingredient selection to ensure freshness and vibrant flavors. He also creatively modified the recipes for my niece who has food allergies. Dining out on his deck under a blue sky was capped off with generous pours of Amarone and Limoncello. Bellisimo!
