About Us

KEEPING CALABRIAN TRADITIONS ALIVE

We are a Calabrian-based cooking school that is taught entirely by grandmothers, or “Nonne”. The school is located in the chestnut tree-covered hills west of Cosenza, in a small village or “borgho”, called Marano Marchesato. This area occupies the very toe of the Italian boot and is an ancient land with ancient traditions.

Our approach to teaching you about the many facets of Calabrian cooking is based on Seasonality. While Calabria is fortunate to have a long growing season, there are many products that shine their best at certain times.
