Ilaria was born in Parma, Italy where she comes from a family of farmers, and producers of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese - cooking runs in her blood. Quyen also comes from a family of rice farmers, and has worked in the Food and Drinks industry for over 15 years. 

Quyen Ha and Ilaria Bertinelli

Living Italianly is a way of life.  You don't have to live in Italy to live Italianly. 

It's about how you approach life when it comes to family, friends, food, travel etc.  

For example, Italian life has always centred around family and food, and the kitchen table is the hub where everyone gathers for dinner to enjoy each other's company and catch up on the day.

This is something that we can all relate to.

At any time in the future, when possible, decide on a trip to Italy and book your tour in Parma with Parma Incoming, your local expert!

We will be happy to organize your private tailor-made food and culture tour: you will have the chance of having lunch in Parma’s trattorias and restaurants, enjoy the same dishes you cooked online, buy the ingredients for your favorite recipes and, why not, meet Ilaria and Quyen in person!

How does it work?

This is an interactive cooking class, where you learn to cook Italian food - live, online with real Italian chefs and food and drinks experts, from the comforts of your own kitchen.

Step 1 - Sign up for the class and we will send you the link to pay online.

Step 2 - Some days before the class starts, we'll email you instructions on how to join us live (all you need is a laptop or desktop and an Internet connection). We'll also send you a list of ingredients and equipment that you'll need to get ready ahead of time, as well as the recipes so that you can review.

Step 3 - Day of the class – Organize your ingredients, and set up your equipment and technology.

Step 4 - Day of the class - You log onto the Google Meet link, and join the interactive class. Your kids, partner, dog, imaginary friends can join - in a relaxed, low pressure environment, and we cook together for 1.5 to 2 hours. At the end of the class, you will not only have the knowledge, but also a great lunch or dinner to eat together.

What does 1 ticket get you?

The purchase of 1 ticket  (25€) will grant you access to 1 link for your household. This means, anyone living with you can join the class without buying additional tickets. We encourage you to invite your friends or family who live with you to tune in and cook with us.
