What an incredible culinary experience. Chef Ornella of "Cook In Milano" was outstanding. Our trip to the market was eye-opening...what beautiful produce to choose from. Our group, Yolanda, Roger, Don & Caroline were a delight to learn with. Chef Ornella is masterful in teaching the secrets and technique of creating the very best dishes. Welcoming, engaging, story teller, humor....All these and more.

My husband and I took this cooking class during our short visit to Milan. The class started with a visit to the butcher followed by a visit to the neighborhood open market. Back in the kitchen we shared the preparation of the most famous Milanese dishes. We rolled pasta, stirred and shaked risotto and baked creme caramel. The main dish was Veal Milanese, the jewel of Milanese cuisine. In 5 hours we learned 5 recipes and enjoyed one of the best meals we had in Milan.

Our instructor Clara was organized, hospitable and professional. If you enjoy food, you will not be disappointed by this local experience. It’s like having an Italian friend and dining in her home.

I thoroughly enjoyed my class on stuffed pastas. Clara was a wonderful and engaging instructor, with an in-depth knowledge of pasta and the appropriate wine pairings. I picked up so many tips from the class that I couldn't wait to come home and try. I am happy to report that I successfully recreated all of the pastas from the day using the helpful recipe booklet that was handed out. I would definitely suggest this school to anyone who has interest in cooking.

Clara is a fabulous teacher and a gracious host! I was so glad we did the version with the market tour. What a bright and colorful way to start the morning! There was something for everyone in this class. My eight year old daughter had a blast and Clara was perfect with her, just as warm and patient as you would expect an Italian grandmother to be! I have almost no cooking experience and was able to keep up and even my husband who is a trained chef learned a ton of new things, especially about making risotto. This was absolutely a top highlight of our 4 days in Milan!!

Ranks at the top of my list of things I have done in Milan. Clara is wonderful - a wonderful hostess, chef, and local guide. The experience was hands on and I truly feel like I can go home and make a reasonable attempt at making these wonderful dishes. Clara was a wealth of information on cooking and selecting the best ingredients and wine. Would absolutely go back and do this again!

Clara is charming, knowledgeable, great chef and outstanding host. We started in nice tour of a local market where we got the fresh supplies. We got nice explanation of seasonal fruit and vegetable shopping, Italian cheeses and prosciutto. It was very colorful, tasty and educational. We than reached Clara's kitchen. It is spotless highly organized well equipped. We cooked eggplant parmesan, spinach gnocchi, and prepared tiramisu, melon prosciutto, and tomato mozzarella salad. Through the cooking we got many tips and tastes of inside Italian secrets. We ended with outstanding lunch of the very delicious food we prepared with great Italian wine.
This is an outstanding experience. Highly recommended for anybody interested in Italian cousin. Clara's charming personality and passion to teach and share her knowledge, really makes this cooking class so special!

We spent half the day learning to make three different pastas and sauces and panna cotta with the lovely Clara, an excellent professional. Clara makes learning the proper techniques very easy for any skill level all the while having fun in the intimate environ of Clara's kitchen and home. We even made an impromptu frittata to snack on while we worked. And there were more little surprises Clara kept sharing with us as it is her nature as such a gracious hostess and teacher. We then sat down to enjoy all of the delicious food we made with wine. This was the highlight of my three weeks stay. This is definitely a must do activity if you are considering a cooking lesson. Do not miss out on this!

We booked his wonderful day after reading rave reviews on Tripadvisor. Chef Clara, who is studying at the Cordon Bleu, guided us through hands-on preparation of a delicious Italian meal. We selected our menu in advance,which included gnocchi, risotto, crespini, and molten chocolate cakes. And plenty of Prosecco and other wines! Chef Clara is very engaging and talented and as a bonus, we got to meet her son Matteo who has studied in the US. Our group of 5 travelers recommend this class to beginning cooks and foodies alike. Enjoy!

Clara is outstanding! She is knowledgeable, fun, creative and very friendly.

Clara not only makes the class super fun and interactive, but she also shares important cooking techniques and the history behind each dish.

We made Tagliatelle Tricolore, Ossobuco, Risotto Milanese and Tiramisu. All dishes were outstanding and the learning experience was superb!

If you're in Milan, don't miss Clara's cooking class. It's an experience of a lifetime.
