Welcome to our humble cooking school, nestled in the serene, Chestnut tree-covered hills west of the city of Cosenza in the region of Calabria, Italy. Calabria is the southern=most region of Italy and occupies the "toe" of the Italian boot.

​

 

Here, we offer a unique culinary experience, where Calabrian grandmothers, with their time-honored traditions and authentic techniques, are the esteemed instructors of our cooking classes.

​

"La Cuoca (quo ka) Calabrese" is the feminized Italian name for "The Calabrian Cook".

​

Our recommended accommodations, Palazzo Conforti Treehouse Resort, are charming, cozy and comfortable, allowing you to relax and unwind during your stay. Visit their website at palazzoconfortitreehouseresort.com.

​

During our hands-on cooking classes, you'll have the opportunity to learn from grandmothers who are experts in traditional Calabrian cuisine. From making fresh pasta by hand, to preparing delicious sauces, cheeses and indulging in decadent desserts, you'll learn the secrets of authentic Italian cooking that have been passed down through generations.
