Have you checked out Mama Isa’s page?  Her recipes are outstanding and our clients have loved her private cooking classes.  She teaches you the authentic Veneto cuisine–seafood, meats, pastas, veggies, desserts…all the good stuff!  There are scads of great local markets in the Padova area from which she sources fantastic ingredients.

We include cooking classes in a lot of itineraries these days, as it’s a great way to take a little slice of Italy home with you.
