The cooking class with this wonderful Italian family was an absolute highlight of our stay. From the beginning we were warmly welcomed and integrated into a loving, family atmosphere. The hosts not only introduced us to authentic Italian cuisine, but also shared their culture and way of life with us. We were particularly impressed by the preparation of the homemade lasagne, which was simply excellent. The evening was so cozy and entertaining that we completely forgot about time. We just enjoyed it! This cooking class is an absolute Recommendation for those who want to experience authentic Italy.

Such a great experience! In one evening we learned each step of making lasagna from scratch, from crafting the perfect pasta dough to layering it with home-made sauces. The ingredients we used were of the highest quality and fresh (wich is important for me). After cooking, we sat down to enjoy our meal with a perfectly paired glass of wine, turning the experience into a delightful dining event. The host and his family are wonderful people, I was very pleased to get to know them and hope to visit them again in the future! In the end we not only learned how to cook lasagna from scratch, but also became friends with this wonderful family. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to dive into Italian culture, improve their cooking skills, or simply enjoy a fantastic meal in a warm and welcoming environment. 11/10!!

I tasted and learned how to make the most incredible lasagna I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Each bite was an explosion of flavors, clearly the result of a totally artisanal preparation. In addition, the experience was enriched by a company that from the first moment made us feel at home, thank you Fabio. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for exceptional food, warm company and a spectacular culinary experience.
great!!

Fabio’s lasagne is phenomenal, the ingredients are fresh, his knowledge is very broad, the way of explaining is very enjoyable that makes the experience most enjoyable. It really is an activity that I recommend doing if you pass one by Basel and you want to eat something rich made personally next to a phenomenal wine tasting. We were a multicultural group and knew how to handle it so that we were all always integrated sharing the experience.

This cooking class is perfect for couples who not only want to try new recipes together, but also want to learn more about the origin of the dish. The hosts are very accommodating and have enriched us with their knowledge of Italian culture. But the absolute highlight was being able to enjoy the food together at the end and thus end the evening with a glass of wine.😋
Wonderful food with very sympathetic hosts

This course is for anyone who likes cooking and a family atmosphere. Hosts Anita and Fabio not only showed us how to make lasagne and tiramisù, but also told us a lot about Italian cuisine and culture. The nice get-together during and after dinner rounded off the evening perfectly.
