What they're saying about us...
Below you will find articles and reviews of our cooking school in Umbria as well as comments from clients who have taken our cooking classes and those who have dined with us at Tita's house near Perugia or had a dinner catered at a villa rental.
The following are recent comments from clients of our Italian cooking classes in Umbria in 2010.
Dear Nonie and Tita,
We have just finished eating Spaghetti with Caramelised Tomatoes with Parmesan from Citta di Castello! We followed the recipe and it was delicious.
We wanted to write and thank you so much for a lovely afternoon of cooking on the 20th. We all enjoyed ourselves enormously and learnt a lot. Macsen had a fantastic time and he is desperate now to get on with making some pizza! It was such a delightful experience – much to learn, huge amounts of fun and delicious food at the end. Thanks!
We would have written sooner but we only arrived home on Friday – four days late- after 5 trains and several hotels. Thanks to the volcano of course. Hope all is well with you.
Best wishes and lots of love.

Dear Nonie and Tita,
Linda and I are now back in Chicago, and we wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our cooking lesson with you. How much? Enormously! It was a highlight of our trip. We learned a lot (and are enjoying reproducing the dishes here at home), had a ton of fun, and enjoyed the food and wine as we ate the lunch we prepared. We thank you for your graciousness and hospitality, we will certainly not hesitate to recommend you to others, and we look forward to doing it again in the future.
Best wishes,
Ken and Linda Robin
Hi Nonie,
Hello to you and Tita, from Kim and I in Australia. We did your cooking course on April 20th and we have to say it was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. The food was magnificent, the setting was just beautiful and we really enjoyed the conversations we had with you both on the day. Your warm welcome to total strangers from the other side of the world made sure that the day will live long in our memories. We are planning to cook some of the dishes over the next few weeks so we will keep our fingers crossed. I have attached a couple of photos from the day and we would be more than happy to recommend you to anyone who is travelling in Italy. Tell Tita to let us know if she is going to make the trip to Australia; we would love to show her around Sydney.
Once again, thank you for a wonderful experience.
Kind Regards, Brad Mitchell

Buon giorno Tita and Nonie,
We want to thank you for the great time we had at the cooking class. You should be proud of yourselves, as we successfully have made, Spaghetti con Pomodorini Pachino, and Tortini Fondenti al Cioccolato. You see, we were very attentive in class eh ! We are forwarding a photo of the BETA team Ev, Trev Aldo Bev for your collection we also included Mauricino (forgive spelling ) in this photo.
Hope you have a good year and we will be thinking of you when we make all those delicious recipes.
Ciao Ev & Trev Jones
