“We've taken about 12 cooking classes in Italy over the years and Massimo's class was the best one for us. He was second-to-none as a teacher. He took us to the market and shared all sorts of valuable information about selecting produce, meat, and fish. Then, at his home, we started the class. Again he offered great information throughout the class about cooking. There were 16 people in this hands-on class and everyone got opportunities to do many things. He created the environment of a typical, Sunday family meal in Italy. We had an abundance of a variety of great foods: mussels, fish, caponata, stuffed zucchini blossoms, pasta, meatballs, etc.…”
