Stefania's Cooking Classes & Tours

Ein Kochkurs bei Stefania ist definitiv zu empfehlen! Sie sendet im Vorhinein eine Liste an möglichen Gerichten, vor der man sich aussuchen kann, was gekocht werden soll. Gegessen wird zusammen mit ihrer Familie in einer geselligen und lustigen Runde.Neben dem Kochen lernt man bei Stefania auch weitere interessante Fakten über Italien und die Region um Parma herum. Ihr selbstgemachter Balsamico schmeckt auch richtig gut.

UNE EXPÉRIENCE INOUBLIABLEJe suis venue à Parme en début d’année scolaire et j’y suis restée 1 mois et demi. C’est Stefania et sa famille qui m’ont accueillie et quelle chance d’être tombée sur eux.La gentillesse et l’humour de Stefania m’ont mise à l’aise très rapidement. Le mois a été rythmé par des balades à la campagne, des cours de cuisine et des visites typiques de cette partie de la région comme la fromagerie qui fabrique du parmesan. Stefania connaît sa région comme sa poche et n’a pas cessé de partager avec moi sa passion pour la nature, pour sa ville et pour la cuisine.Un séjour qui restera ancré dans ma mémoire pour longtemps j’en suis sure, sous le signe des nouvelles expériences et des rencontres. Je ne peux donner qu’un conseil, faire appel à elle pour vos excursions lors de votre passage en Émilie-Romagne ou pour un cours de cuisine si vous souhaitez une immersion dans la gastronomie italienne !

My wife & I are SO GLAD we found Stefania! Not only did she lead us through an amazing 4 hour class & meal, she scheduled and accompanied us on a really informative, fantastic, & delicious tour of regional cheese & Parma ham producers. Honestly my only advice here is that if you're in the region for several days try to do this Day 1 because she was so helpful setting us up with other suggestions of things to do ... she even made a restaurant reservation for us! Watch out for the 'pipe cleaner' though.

I, my wife, and our 2 children (10 and 8) took a cooking class with Stefania at her country home outside of Parma in August. It was so much more than that though! Stefania met us warmly and we learned how to make a wide variety of Italian specialties (pasta, namely). I was so inspired, I just got a pasta maker for Christmas and I'm looking forward to practicing what I learned! She is an excellent instructor, patient with our children (and me) and she made the lessons fun. We enjoyed the meal together, then she gave us a tour of her house. Amazing, the work they've put into it and the details and history they've uncovered. We finished with a lesson and history on balsamic vinegar and some tasting! What a treat this experience was and worth every cent to see, hear, and taste the history of the region. We were staying an hour from where we met her, but it was well worth the drive and the half-day we spent was truly a highlight of our vacation.

Stephanie hosts BC students and teaches cooking. Likes the chaos of many unique people. Made stuffed pasta, rolled chicken, potato tart. Also tried several local ingedients, including parm cheese with homemade 25 year old balsamic, proscuitto de Parma, house made liquor affectionately called liquid plumber! Bread and salad, 2 desserts, panne cotta and a chocolate ricotta tart.

We spent a fantastic day with Stefania, cooking, hiking, and enjoying her lovely country home outside Parma. We loved seeing and learning about her own balsamic vinegar production. Highly recommend!

We took a cooking class with Stefania! We learned how to make tortelli di zucca, torta frita and also a risotto. It was a really nice experience and we had lots of fun! Also some of my friends have been able to replicate the food after some months and they turn out exactly the same. If you want to take a part of Parma with you wherever you are and are a big fan of food I would definitely recommend the classes!

Bellissimo pomeriggio vissuto a scuola! I bambini della scuola primaria R. Pezzani" di Parma hanno sperimentato le loro abilità culinarie ed hanno preparato degli ottimi anolini guidati da una superba Stefania! Non solo conoscenza dei prodotti locali e dei piatti tipici emiliani-parmigiani

We had a wonderful time with Stefi. She is very knowledgeable and personable. We did a half day tour of the cheese and ham factories that ended with balsamic vinegar tasting at her 16th century castle. The whole day was magical and we highly recommend. Great views and a great experience.

We had a wonderful morning with Stefania! We learned so much about the Parma area and all the famous foods like parmesan cheese, parma ham and balsamic vinegar. It was so much fun!Stefania speaks great English and she has such good knowledge of the area. Being with a local really helps! We wished we could have her guidance all week long, not to mention her Italian language skills! This really benefited us with our food allergies.In fact we had so much fun we did a private cooking class later that night. This way we could learn how to make pasta!Highly recommend Stefania! You won't be disappointed with all she has to offer. Fantastico!
