WHY CHOOSE US?
*It is not just about study and learning, but also experiencing Italy like an Italian!
*From breakfast to dinner, we are with you from the time you arrive in Italy until you leave! Of course you will have some downtime, but Chef Melina and her staff will be available to you 24/7.
*With your all inclusive Cooking Holiday Experience, all meals (and wine and beverages), transfers and accommodation are included, so you can feel safe, at ease in a new country and not worry about anything. There are no extra hidden expenses.
*This is not just a course with recipe repetition. This is a complete cultural experience , and a full immersion into everyday village life. Classes are small so the course can be adapted daily to the needs of each student
*We use only the highest quality ingredients. We are fortunate to live in a very rich area of Italy and so most ingredients are sourced locally... 0km. Where ingredients are bought in, we show you the best examples Italy has to offer and how you can source them in your home country
“taking the course with melina in february changed the course of my life!
it was the one thing that i needed which took me from a passionate pasta maker, to a professional. melina has a sixth sense about what each student needs, and she reels you in and inspires you to push yourself
to your own personal next level. i learned from her all of the important techniques, history, and practices of pasta in italy.......as well as becoming privy to the secrets only italians have known for centuries!
melina is a rare combination of a professional teacher and a warm friend for each student. i am now proud to be running my own business and thriving, doing what i love. sometimes it takes more than a class....it takes melina!!!”
