HIKE AND COOK

AN EASY EXCURSION IN NATURE TO EXPERIENCE AND SHARE LOCAL CUISINE

Walking slowly in nature, along mountain slopes overlooking Grigna Mountain Chain and Lake Como (Lecco branch); living the heritage and finally experience the magic of kneading and cooking as our nanny did.

Description

An easy itinerary in nature, rich in heritage and good conservative works: fountains built using ancient tombs, erratic boulders left by the glacier along the path, restored farmhouses where you can still find ancient and well-restored ice food storage areas. Views on Lake Como and on Grigna Mountain Chain, chestnut trees forest up to Camanin farmhouse, at Conca di Crezzo, where you will experience Lombardy typical cuisine.

A small mountain family-run farm, in the heart of Triangolo Lariano (the mountain area between the two branches of Lake Como), where owners grow dairy goats known as Camosciata delle Alpi, and process raw unpasteurized milk into fresh and matured cheese, yogurt and ice-creams.

Cooking-lesson will focus on kneading dough to cook the well-known Pizzoccheri, a kind of tagliatelle made with buckwheat flour and dressed with butter and cheese: an experience which will free your creativity and bring back to memory childish flavours and scents when nanny was cooking; moments to be shared while kneading, cooking, and finally tasting the final results all together.
