I attended the 7 day gourmet cooking class. Learned a lot I can't wait to try when I get home, the trip to Parma and Modena was great. Chef Paolo is fun to work with. However the Web site is a mess and needs updating. Especially the curriculum. I was a bit disappointed when I got there and was told the ' more advanced dishes' on day 6 had been replaced with a bread, pizza, focaccia day.

The class was excellent. I have taken numerous cooking classes and this was one of the best. The chef is passionate about what he does. It was the right amount of hands on and instruction. I picked up numerous tips even though I had cooked similar dishes myself. The food that we cooked was excellent. The pace was great as cooked part then ate it, then cooked more and sat down to a feast. The school is in great location as within Lucca walled city. Thank you Chef Paolo for a great experience.

I had a great 7-day cooking class with Chef Paolo. I have seen that he is well-versed,systematic,and expert in his own craft. I have noticed his passion in cooking which it makes a big difference. I learned so much from him, and it changed my perspective,and attitude in cooking. He’s very patience, understanding flexible, and accommodating. I have so much recipes that I can’t decide what to cook first. When I came back to Vegas my kids were so excited what we can cook together. Every weekend we look forward to cook and choose from chef’s recipes. They were delectable and tasty. Each time I cook something I have my colleagues as my official taster. So far they appreciate it. I highly recommend his class.

Excellent three day experience with lodging at Chef’s B&B, four course dinner the first night and two full days of cooking classes and eating. Chef even took us on a learning experience at the wholesale market. As this was a second time at his school, he modified the classes to exclude what we had done prior and added from other classes. Excellent group of recipes, fun hands on cooking and very full tummy’s every day. Would be hard to improve on the experience and it was a good value, too.

Once again we had an amazing cooking class with Chef. His recipes, his endless wonderful jokes and his general helpfulness in showing us and teaching us the process makes for a wonderful time. We took his Tuscan cooking class this time and met two other lovely couples. Chef just moved to a new space inside the wall-so much more convenient. Highly, highly recommend ANY of his classes. Last time we did two! Thank you Chef Paolo. Much success in your new space and always good health.
