Our Christmas courses are almost full except for 2 places available on 12th December, but if you would love a fun day cooking Italian cakes and puddings we have a date for the 4th December just in time to indulge in the real taste of Italian cakes and puddings. A great idea for what to put on your Christmas table or a pre Christmas gift. #cakespuddings #italiancakes #italianpuddings #christmascake #vouchers #cookingcourses

An evening out last night watching #genisis one of the many bands I liked as a teenager. A bit of fun at last.

I’ve reminded myself the last week of just how lucky I have been having had this wonderful dog Agatha in my life for almost 13 years although my son says 14. It was time and I certainly don’t think my little Diva would like me to be upset over her. She came into our lives at 3 months old and after 4 days of throwing her dinner across the kitchen I had to ring the vet to ask what to do. She wanted fresh chicken and rice that eventually became chicken and potatoes and in her later years chicken and homemade minestrone and all with olive oil. We’ve laughed over this, but seriously she knew me as soon as she stepped into my home. #hovawart #movingon #happymemories #longlife

Looking very pleased with her Pizza Base yesterday. A real sourdough Pizza that tastes delicious. What a great class with lovely and friendly people. #Pasta #Pane #pizza #cookingcourse #cookingitalian

Our Pizza,Pasta,Pane course went really well today. The base of our Pizza is pretty amazing and our sourdough just gets better. I’ve had a dreadful week after losing my adorable dog Agatha and I never thought I’d make it throw the day without shedding some tears. I did make the day without so a big oat on the back to me. #italianfood #cookingrealitalian #italiancookingclasses #wirralbusiness #realitalianfood

I had a very busy time in Italy packing to move house. All done and the rest is up to my son and husband, instead I will be busy now organising our Pasta, Pizza, Pane course on Sunday. I don’t know how to get that perfect pizza trick done with my hands, but the base is perfect. My friend in Italy told me a bit late that I should join him in his Pizzeria next time over to learn that Pizza trick. Still one place available if any of you would care to join this Sunday’s course. #pizzalovers🍕 #pizzanapoli #freshpasta #nonnaitaliana #panepugliese #loveitalianfood

It’s been a busy day packing boxes to leave Marco’s family home as a child and my own home for 24 years. We’ve found an apartment to move into next week and everything is going as planned. I went the market yesterday and bought these delicious clams. #spaghettiallavongole one of our simple favourites #seafood #simplefavorites #movinghouse #cookingontherun

This was one of my favourite markets when I lived

This was one of my favourite markets when I lived in Modena and the work counter you can see is the fish market during the day. Me and my friend went to eat there last night and enjoyed the seafood 🦞 and the bottle of #franciacorta we drank. Today packing boxes for our move into an apartment here. It’s not our permanent home just a place to come and stay when we return to my husbands home town. #ideas #eatingout #italiancooking #cookingschool #cookingcourses

With so many ideas or pies the Italians make that

With so many ideas or pies the Italians make that they call torte salate there isn’t a single one that can remotely remind you of the variety of pies that we have here in Britain. This is just one simple to make, but packed with flavour and one I use for breakfast on my courses. #erbazzonereggiano #theyloveit❤️ #packedwithgoodness #deliciousalternative #italiancuisine #cookingcourses #italianstyle

It always worries me that Italian tradition and beautiful cuisine sold out and the younger generation are getting what has been influenced by food influences that are really not concerned about tradition. Creativity is an amazing tool to have, but not when it really is spoiling the balance of beautiful well balanced cuisine. #traditional #balanceandharmony #perfectasitis #addingingredients #italincuisine #youngergeneration

Our Saucy Sauce course was a big success on Saturday and they’ve got back today making bookings for our typical Italian Christmas that is only missing 1 place now and it’s full. I think I should create another course for this one as clients are already making enquiries: what a fun group of foodies we had on Saturday. #italiancooking #cookingcourses #realitalianfood #chef #host #fun #realfood

Flying over the #alpes yesterday after living with

Flying over the #alpes yesterday after living with the extensive heat the kind of heat you live with the #airconditioning on and don’t go out during the day, in fact Modena was like a ghost town during the day and woke up a bit more in the night when the temperature dropped. I’ve certainly done more work today in preparation for my cooking course, but not everything always goes well. The washing machine has decided to break down and the technician can’t come out for 2 weeks. Is it a new one after only 4 years or do I stick to my guns and don’t play apart in this #consumistic society we always seem to contradict ? Can’t wait to have my class back to normal on Saturday x

Lord knows how old these hats actually are. Valeri

Lord knows how old these hats actually are. Valeria was a hat maker and had a hat shop in via Taglio in the city Center of Modena many years ago. #oldhats #hatmakers I have to get on sorting this stuff out because Sunday I am back in the UK preparing for my next cooking course with groups again. I can’t wait because it’s been along time that we haven’t been able to have more than 2 people in the kitchen per course so next week is exciting.

It really is incredible the things you find and the memories that come flooding back. There was a time living here when we had a car crash outside our house even twice a day in fact even 3 and no matter what we said the council didn’t come to put the zebra crossing on the corner of our road. They did this time they were here the very next day because I decided to contact the local paper. That particular day a truck went into my front wall knocked down the gate and finished in the garden where my son was playing out with his friend.

It’s incredible how much junk and things people

It’s incredible how much junk and things people keep. We are more than half way through in sorting out what gets thrown away and who wants things from just the canteens and garages and we are still behind on what’s in the two apartments. I’m back in the Uk Sunday and I think we have found the apartment we will be temporary staying in when we come back to Modena. We have to be out of here by the end of October, so I think I will have to travel back to help the husband move. #moves #familyhomes #italianorigin #chef
