What a great experience in Luciana's class. The food was fabulous and so different from what we are used too. Truly authentic Italian tucker! Lovely company with the other attendees, so ti was a fabulous way to spend 4 hours.

Inviting promise with average execution

Peter 20 June 2018

This experience is not quite what I had expected having been to other cooking experiences. There was limited hands on cooking and the facility didn’t lend itself to the size of the group.

The long Italian lunch

Ann 1 March 2018

Had a fantastic time. Learned to make pasta which we then ate (delicious btw). Our teacher was passionate, talented and entertaining. It was a great experience

Italian cooking at its best!

Madeleine 19 October 2017

We had a great group, really enjoyed learning to make pasta and how the real itialian dishes are cooked! It’s a lovely experience in Lucianas home and would recommend it to anyone!

Easy peasy!!

Sharon 17 August 2017

Had no idea how easy it is to make pasta and those scrumptious sauces. I appreciate Luciana's wonderful tips. While very 'tongue in cheek' at times the class members wondered what was next at the long dinner table. A simple direction like "bon appétit" would have indicated that "now you can eat" rather than slamming the door shut on us!!... leaving us in silence!! Luciana was very generous with the servings and wine although a simple salad would have balanced the meal. Loved the flavour of the sauces although too much tomato for me!! A variety of different types would have surficed me. Overall a great learning experience.

Beautiful dinner and demo

Melanie 3 May 2017

I had hesitations going to a cooking class with my list of restricted food options (pregnancy) but I was well accommodated and had my own special portions at times. It was a great intro to pasta making and sauces without too much cooking involved after a long day at work. Thoroughly enjoyed the class and the instructor!

A good introduction into Italian cooking.

Mary 26 March 2017

Perhaps the history of Italian food regions could be given at the beginning of the lesson rather than at the end of the dinner. A handout of the short history of Itilian food regions could also be added with the receipes.

Lovely day!

Karen 6 November 2016

We learned a lot and enjoyed the fruits of our labor!

Delicious food

Eager Cook 20 June 2016

The class was very informative and the food delicious. It would have been great to be more involved in the preparation and cooking process, rather than being limited to only making pasta. Bringing an apron from home was rather odd, for a cooking school of this size I would have thought they could provide an apron for the day.
