Chef Monica is the best!

Monica was terrific! We went to the outdoor market and the butcher and picked out all fresh ingredients. Then walked back to the house and made an unbelievably delicious 4 course meal. It was just the 2 of us and we learned so much.

Monica is a great guide

Monica was our tour guide and cooking guide. She took us to pick out our produce that we use to cook for fabulous dishes. She is a talented tour guide cook and historian. I highly recommend the store and Monica.

The Eclectic Chef Cooking Class!

We spent a lovely day walking to the market and then going to Christian’s home to make Cavatelli con pomodorini,peperoni salsiccia e pecorin, Ravioli alle zucchine, stuffed meat loaf called Polpettone di carne, and a wonderful dessert called Pesche al vino bianc. Christian’s home was once owned by a famous architect and the decor was very nice.

Fantastic Class and a Must Do in Rome

We chose this class on a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. Our Chef Monica was fantastic. Very personable and a joy to learn from. She answered all our naive questions and was encouraging throughout. The food she prepared, with modest prep work by us, was some of the best we had in our trip. She was also great with grabbing candid photos of us throughout our evening which are great memories. Would highly recommend this class, one of the highlights of our time in Rome.
