Additional Information

Grounded in my fervor for culinary arts and family recipes that have been perfected across generations, I’ve had the privilege of honing my skills in premier Italian and international cooking academies, including the esteemed Paul Bocuse Institute (3* Michelin) located in the picturesque Ecully castle. During our time together, we’ll unfold the intricacies of crafting delicious ravioli or whip up tagliatelle using my beloved Bolognese nanny’s recipes. Step-by-step, you’ll master the art of creating authentic Italian gelato, which is simpler than it seems. Bear in mind that Italian cuisine is relatively straightforward to prepare with a minimalistic ingredient list, but mandates high-quality produce; this uncomplicated approach is the secret to its outstanding taste.

Our culinary journey will unfold in a venue blanketed by a verdant array of fruit trees and an abundance of flowers, which you can enjoy while having your lunch/dinner with a breathtaking view of Milan’s skyline. Our location is also conveniently proximate to the Duomo square, Leonardo’s Last Supper, the Prada museum, and the Navigli. Situated in the Designer and Fashion zone with subway services till 1 am, it ensures an invigorating yet safe exploration in the historical grandeur of Milan that will certainly be etched in your memory!

Perfect Authentic Italian Cookery Class - We visited Bruna for a lesson on how to make pasta and gelato from scratch and it was exactly what we hoped for! Bruna gave us a warm welcome and was the perfect teacher, explaining every step in detail. The food and wine at the end of the evening was delicious - I would recommend this to anyone visiting Milan, an absolute must do experience!

A relaxing way to end vacation in Milan... - When my friends and I travel, we usually include a walking food tour. This time, we chose a cooking class and loved it. We started off melting chocolate and whipping egg whites for the chocolate and tiramisu gelato which would become dessert. Then we got down to the business of making pasta and ravioli. Chef Marco led us through the process step by step with demonstrations and helpful advice. With wine and a glass of lemon cello made by the Chef's grandmother, we enjoyed ravioli cooked in butter topped with Parmesan cheese and pasta served with homemade sauce. Chef Marco was a lot of fun and entire experience was delightful.

A great experience, especially to gift as a birthday present! - Me and my partner really enjoyed the experience! Bruna is a great storyteller with a great passion for cooking. The instructions to get there were very clear and she waited for us at the door of her place to greet us. The course comprised of both working as a team and being individually instructed while being taught the ins and outs of both the history of the recipes and cooking techniques (including do's and don'ts). The time flew by and we also enjoyed the subsequent dinner with all the participants. We definitely recommend it!
