Culinary experiences and collaborations
Alongside my work in sales & marketing management, since 2016 I have been offering three experiences for guests visiting Lake Garda: Cooking Classes, Everyday Italian for Travelers and Private Chef on Lake Garda.
The services take place either in a home setting or directly at the guests’ accommodation. I am available to collaborate with hotels and other local properties looking to add a simple, well-organised culinary experience to their offering.
I conduct the activities in several languages: English, French and German.
Three experiences, one method
-
Cooking Class
A hands-on workshop: making the dough, shaping it, refining your technique. Simple recipes, designed to be recreated in your own kitchen.
-
Everyday Italian for Travelers
The Italian you actually need while travelling, through real-life conversations: at the market, in restaurants, getting around. A few structures, plenty of practice.
-
Private Chef
A dinner prepared at your accommodation. The menu is created together, shopping and service included. Guests take their seats, the kitchen comes to them.

“Maria’s cooking lesson was fantastic: my friend and my four 10-year-old children took part and loved it. They said the gnocchi they made were the best meal of the holiday, and they enjoyed the pizza too.”
-
“Maria has a very welcoming way about her: everyone feels at home right away. The gnocchi will definitely end up on our table back home.”

“Maria’s Cooking Class was the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lake Garda.”
