Get to know Marika & Emanuele


Marika & Emanuele were so fun and personable. Marika definitely knew her stuff and was helpful. Also, she was great when some of us ran out of flour and were trying to improvise :)
— Ankita D. (Handmade Pizza Class)

About Marika & her brother Emanuele: We’ve been meeting Marika at her home — high above the coast of the enchanting town of Positano — for homemade Italian meals with ingredients fresh from her garden for years now on our Heart of Italy tours. We feast on her stunning back patio overlooking the Mediterranean, and after the meal, we help her in the kitchen making biscotti or other Italian treats while she tells us stories about living on the Amalfi Coast and running her small convenience shop with her brother Emanuele. Now we can cook with them both from our home kitchens and learn typical recipes of their region. Read more about how we met Marika!

Location: Positano, Italy

 
They were encouraging, knowledgeable, and flexible.

My favorite part of the class was the result! The gnocchi is so good. Also, I loved learning that they need to be boiled twice.
