The evening i spent at this cooking class, was really amazing. Barbara is a very lovely and heartwarming person, who is really alive and it’s beautiful to watch her, while doing what she loves. And also, she knows how to transfer that vibe to the people around. We prepared a wonderful Dinner. I had a lot of fun while learning new things about the italian kitchen, and it was absolutely fun to eat with her and her boyfriend. Apart from the nice food and the learning, you can have a lot of fun with them and they are really interesting people, able to tell you a lot about venice as well as about culture and art. I was really lucky to meet them and i can tell everyone, that they will surely feel the same after that experience! Best wishes!

Julia was a great host! She was knowledgable, fun, and catered the menu to our personal tastes. When we were at the market, we mentioned that the fruit looked good and pointed out one we had never seen before. Back at the house, Julia pulled a bunch of fruit out of her bag because she noticed us eyeing it. Attention to detail made the night so special and the food was delicious!
