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.
