Maribel was an excellent and patient teacher! My husband and I decided to do the market component of the class as well, and it was great to see what was in season, ask questions about shopping at Bologna's very nice market, and select the dishes we'd make later that day. Maribel tailored the dishes, including appetizers, to our preferences, and walked us through step by step. We learned so much, including which steps of pasta making and shaping to pay special attention to, and why steps were performed in a certain way. In the end, we had a delightful meal and received recipes by email that we're able to use at home. Maribel made this an enjoyable and memorable experience, and we recommend it to anyone interested in learning to make Italian food while in Bologna.

Maribel had been recommended to me for some time now by people who understand food. I wanted to gain more knowledge about pasta making.. It was beyond my expectations. I also teach cooking so I have an idea of how a class should be taught Maribel is clear and methodic in how she presents pasta making. She taught us in a very explicit way the techniques of pasta making that I finally came to understand in this class. The market visit in Bologna was a great beginning to this class.

We had a wonderful experience cooking with Maribel. We loved making homemade pasta by hand, and it makes you appreciate the time and effort that goes into great food. Maribel was very welcoming, and we instantly knew that we had picked the right class. She is a very patient teacher and guides you through each step. The food we made was delicious, and it was fun to sit and enjoy our meal with her and hear her story. We would definitely do this again. Highly recommended.
