Your experience
Welcome to my cooking class in Lucca! I'm Monica, a passionate cook who has always enjoyed preparing delicious meals, even for large groups of people.
To start, we'll have an appetizer of fried pizza dough and sage, paired with Prosecco. Then, we'll move on to fried squash blossoms, vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, and onions, and fried polenta with a seasonal sauce. After that, we'll prepare homemade bigoli pasta with 00 wheat, topped with our own homemade sauce. For dessert, we'll enjoy "fried Buccellato" a typical local dessert, or Tiramisu upon request. We'll pair the dishes with Prosecco or red wine of your choice. We will enjoy the dishes prepared in the garden, if the season allows it. Come join me for a memorable culinary experience!

- Monica was a delight. She welcomed us into her home and we had a wonderful learning, cooking, and eating experience. She shared her love of food and cooking with us in a friendly, enjoyable way. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
- It was truly a pleasure spending the day with Monica and her husband. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making and enjoyed the foods Monica prepared. She was such a delight! I would highly recommend this activity! The only negative I have was that there was no Market tour, which is how it was advertised with "Get Your Guide", but that was no fault of Monica's. She was simply the best!
- Monica and her husband were exceptional! They were warm welcoming and so wonderful! They asked what we wanted to make and were good at managing expectations due to time. They were so generous and knowledgeable and kind. It was a truly magical experience for my family. The children loved it! Thank you so much for a special memory and evening!!!
- We had a great evening with Monica! We cooked several dishes (prepared among other things different types of pasta) and had great conversations.
- Monica was absolutely incredible! She was patient, a great teacher and full of knowledge on how to cook the Italian way! All 8 of us dearly loved our experience and we all learned so much. This was well worth the money and it was one of our favorite experiences in Italy! We highly, highly recommend this experience.
