My mom and I took two of Marika’s cooking experiences in her beautiful open kitchen, where culture meets food and tingles all your senses, tastes and textures. Her catering, events and cooking experience company is called Acquolina. In Italian one of my favourite phrases is ‘acquolina in bocca,’ meaning mouth-watering, and that is exactly the flavors and smells that ensue when spending time in Marika’s Kitchen. Diving into the rhythm of cooking, we experienced creating a Michelin star quality meal in a matter of 4 hours. The first meal we made was Milanese, Ossobuco with Saffron Risotto. Marika said that it is one of the only dishes in Italy where the primo and the secondo come together. She moves fast, giving us lessons in cooking, technique and her personal connection to the cuisine. I had never made risotto, used saffron, nor had any idea what ossobuco was. Marika said it’s a perfect winter Milanese dish. The technique involved toasting rice in wine and constant stirring. As Chef Marika said, ‘that is why you let the guest wait for the risotto, and not the risotto for the guests.’ For the second meal we cooked was an explosion of pasta varieties. More than the technique, Marika explained how pasta and Italian cuisine are rooted in season, regionally and in the home. Together we prepared two fillings for ravioli: asparagus with leek and Spinach with ricotta. The first sauce to accompany the asparagus and leek ravioli was made with butter sage and Parmesan with asparagus tops. The second sauce was a salsa simplice with little tomatoes, olive oil and garlic. We also made a basil pesto with spinach infused tagliatelle. And finally pillow-like potato gnocchi. It was all overwhelming in a way that we couldn’t even believe the quantity of different types of pasta we had made. The technique of which takes consistency in practice and a lifetime, which we realised very quickly as Marika effortlessly showed, and as my mother and I fumbled our way through laughing. Even the shapes and how you make each pasta is founded in different locales of Italian cooking. Marika’s stories of cooking with her grandmother when she was a young girl in Milan, and her connection to the rich agriculture that comes from the regions of her grandfather in Puglia further South came together as we rhythmically prepared our meal together. This day was just my mother, myself, Tonia Marika’s sous chef and Marika. At the end, my mother and I ate together enough pasta for ten, and the meal was one that no restaurant in Venice could compare.

I did this cooking class several years ago. The cooking class was excellent, so I decide to complete a six day cooking course with chef Isa during the last February. The chef Isa was extremely helpful, professional and friendly. The food we cooked was delicious. I learnt so much in terms of techniques and tips. This is a great cooking course: completely hands-on and from scratch!
