The perfect Italian respite

Published on Oct, 2024

Alina's cooking class was an amazing experience! We met three interesting couples and had a great time learning how to make pasta, pasta and more pasta! We were lucky enough to stay in Sangiovese at Il Fontanaro and will definitely be back. It was quiet and peaceful ... a nice respite from the big crowds in Italy's major cities.

Truly an Umbrian Country Experience

Published on Oct, 2024

I am the owner of Village Vacations in Italy and I brought my clients to Slow Cooking School for a cooking class and olive oil tasting. What an incrediable day we had. They made 3 different sauces, pasta, ravioli, lasagna, Gnocchi and a rasberry tiramisu. Ailina's cooking class is truly an Umbrian country experience.

Wonderful morning cooking with Alina

Published on Sep, 2024

I attended Alina's cooking course this morning at her Il Fontanara kitchen in Paciano. What a delightful and informative morning. Alina is vivacious and engaging, and her assistant was also eager to please and guide. I appreciated that it was a hands-on lesson rather than a demonstration. We rolled out three different shapes of pasta, which were cooked and added to three different delicious sauces. We enjoyed lunch as a a group under the vines, accompanied by her easy to drink red wine and lemoncello. Perhaps less intimidating to make was the tasty tiramisu, and ingredients will be easy to source from home. I might have to attempt the home made pasta at home as I'll probably never enjoy it as much out of a packet again! At the end of the lesson we could purchase her olive oil and other accessories, including a great t-shirt. I was also fascinated by her explanation of the production of olive oil, and the importance of checking that the bottle says harvested and bottled at the same origin. All in all one of my best mornings in Umbria so far. Thank you Alina.

Delightful cooking class in Italy

Published on Sep, 2024

This was such an incredible experience. The host was so welcoming and her property is delightful. We got to pick cherry tomatoes for the meal and made 3 different kinds of pasta for our meal. Wow! That isn’t as easy as it looks ha. I learned so much in just a few short hours. The olive oil they produce is my new favorite. I think we will be having more shipped ha. This was a five star experience hands down.

Five star Pasta with Alina

Published on Sep, 2024

What a really wonderful, authentic cooking experience with Alina. Her passion for food and zest for life shines through her beautiful smile. She shared her recipes freely. I really enjoyed the very hands on practical approach. One of the best cooking classes that I have taken part in.
