We started with a tour through her herb garden and she perfectly adjusts the menue based on the season and what nature has to offer during the time your course takes place :) she also adjusts the class based on what the participant like to eat, in this case pasta and vegetarian, and guides you through the process of preparing and cooking all ingredients, so you can easily do it again at home. She shared a lot of interesting information and the food was obiously great! We started with some antipasti, focaccia, cheese, salad and parsley pesto we picked up in her garden…”
