If your mother cooks Italian food, why should you go to a restaurant? Martin Scorsese

I’m Alina Pinelli – a professional wine and olive oil sommelier, chef, devoted mom, and Labrador retriever enthusiast. My passion for food, family, and sustainability led me to create Slow Cooking School, where we celebrate the art of cooking with organic, seasonal ingredients and time-honored traditions.

At Slow Cooking School, we offer personalized cooking experiences for everyone—from kids and families to those seeking gluten-free options—right in the comfort of your vacation villa. Our classes are available in Rome, Umbria, and Tuscany, where we bring the magic of Italian cuisine to life.
