Come and cook with me in my kitchen: 1 day cooking class or 1 week course within a stay at Villa San Pietro Bed and Breakfast near Lake Garda are always available.  Just contact me to schedule it.

 

My entire family has been my inspiration. I am also extremely lucky to have met my great grandmother Doralice (1873-1973), my grandmother Alda (1911-2004) and I still have my Mom Gabriella helping me with her recipes. I have learned lots of traditional recipes and I am still learning from them through their cookbooks.

​

My family ties are very strong and it shows in my kitchen. I strongly believe Italian cuisine is at its best if seasonal ingredients offered at our local markets are used. Freshness, authenticity, and simplicity are the key elements of my cuisine. 

 

During cooking classes, we work on a selection of Italian main courses such as: savory croissants and entrées, all sorts of homemade pasta and bread, vegetable sauces, and cakes.

​

I certainly owe my family the person I have become and everything I have achieved in life. I run with my husband Jacques Anna's Cookery School at Villa San Pietro Bed and Breakfast by lake Garda, Italy. We started our B&B business in 1997 and we have been welcoming guests from all over the world ever since.

 

I was born in 1963 in Brescia, Northern Italy. I attended Bologna University and own a degree in French and English, I am a certified translator and interpreter. After many years working as an interpreter, in 1997 I decided to transform my passion for people, foreign languages, food and wine into my own job and I am extremely proud to share my life with my guests.  

​

Contact me for cooking classes : 1 day courses are available as well as a 1 week stay at Villa San Pietro B&B near Lake Garda with cooking classes, dinners in the garden, bike tours with my husband Jacques all throughout the year!
