IT’S ABOUT ITALIAN FOOD

Welcome to my website. Here I share my Italian home-cooking recipes, along with all my knowledge about food and local culinary traditions. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a curious food lover, here you can find educational resources, informative videos, and step-by-step recipes. I put all my effort and knowledge into helping people understand what Italian food is and how to become more confident in the kitchen. It’s not only a question of food, but also enjoying time in the kitchen or around a table with family and friends, as is the Italian lifestyle.

A comprehensive, step-by-step course which will show you how to master
the basics of Italian cooking.

MY SIMPLE RULES

FOR THE KITCHEN

Learning to cook is not something that can happen overnight.
It’s a question of practice. It may take time, but it’s always worth it.

 1 – Always choose seasonal, local food

2 – Good food isn’t necessarily expensive

3 – Eating healthy, tasty food is more beneficial than a diet

4 – Don’t limit your creativity

5 – Don’t waste food

HI, THERE!

SOMETHING ABOUT ME

My name is Gioia Tiozzo. I’m a cooking instructor and an Italian food & wine lover. I live in Venice, Italy. I am a psychologist specializing in nutrition: I help people on a diet, I teach them how to cook in a healthy and tasty way. As an Italian cooking instructor, I learnt a lot from my students – something  I will be always thankful for. Now I’m giving something back: this website is my gift to all people who love Italy and Italian food.

MY PRIVATE EXPERIENCES IN MY CITY

What better way to learn about Venice and Italian food than to eat and drink in a typical Venetian home while your host recounts the history and curiosities of the city?

★★★★★  The Best  Gioia’s cooking class was AMAZING! Definitely worth the time. She started off giving us some history about Italy, and then we starting cooking. She showed us each step, then let us practice. Recommend 100% if you want to know how to make good Italian dishes! Read more…

★★★★★  The most memorable part of an incredibly trip to Italy  What an extraordinary experience! My 13-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter and I learned so much about cooking but also about Venice and Italian life in general from Gioia. She is quintessentially Venetian…we were calmer and more in the moment with her than we’ve been on the trip thus far. What a life lesson. Read more

★★★★★  It was a wonderful experience – a real hightlight  Such fun and so informative! It’s a hands-on class, so you really learn what you are doing and will be confident to recreate the dishes at home. She also taught us about Venetian customs and traditions. Thanks, Gioia! Read more

★★★★★  Ann GMy husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Gioia. Gioia is friendly and engaging, and we enjoyed our conversation. We also loved making and eating wonderful food with her.  The class itself was very hands on and very educational. This was the best thing we did during our 4 day stay in Venice and we can’t wait to make the dishes we learned at home for our friends and family. Read more

★★★★★  Marina F.  Do not miss the opportunity to spend time with Gioia shopping at the Rialto Market and then cooking in her kitchen. She brings Venetian history, culture and cooking to life. This is not just a technical cooking class but a true organic farm-to-table experience. Read more

★★★★★   Keisha Ross  My husband and I went on our honeymoon for a cooking class with Gioia and it was an absolutely phenomenal time. She was very friendly and personable, with an absolute wealth of knowledge on authentic Italian cuisine. We made ravioli, tagliatelle, and tiramisu for an absolutely beautiful lunch paired with Prosecco! I fully recommend this class! Read more
