VINCENT & MICHELA (FRANCE)
"What a delightful and timeless moment we had thanks to Ovan!! Delicious, the lunch truly was. Ovan is a talented chef who transformed the pasta and ravioli we prepared with him into three succulent dishes, using a variety of flavorful ingredients he cooked alongside. These dishes could easily be featured on the menu of a Michelin-starred restaurant! His white wine is also worth mentioning. The man himself is just as delightful! Both simple, subtle, and refined, just like his cuisine. There are some encounters you never forget. This one will certainly be among them for me."

"Thanks to Ovan! The food was exquisite, each course a culinary masterpiece prepared with great attention to detail. The perfectly paired wine, which completed the taste experience, deserves special mention. However, the highlight of the evening was the proposal. It was a moment full of emotions when I proposed to my partner. I felt like I was in a dream, surrounded by love and happiness. The planning and execution of this special evening were flawless. It was obvious that a lot of effort and passion went into making this moment as special as possible. All in all, it was an unforgettable evening that will forever remain in our hearts. A perfect blend of romance, culinary delight, and emotional depth – simply fantastic!"

VALERIA (UNITED STATES)
"This was clearly the best grand finale to our Sardinia vacation that we could have asked for. Ovan was prepared for and helped us to learn to make pasta dough and 5 different shapes of pasta, including Sardinian ravioli. During this time, he taught us the details of storage and cooking pasta , how to make plant based coloring and sauces. We learned a good deal about nutrition and farming practices. He then sat us at a table with a grand view of the mountains and served us a 4 course dinner with the pasta we had made. This fabulous memory will stay with us forever."

FRANKA (GERMANY)
"Ovan was an outstanding host. The location was ideal and according to the photos an absolute dream. After the first refreshment (homemade bruschetta and wine) it was time to prepare the pasta dough. Ovan did a great job guiding us through the different steps. We learned how to make normal but also colored dough. Then it was time to shape the pasta. Here Ovan showed us all imaginable variants, both normal and filled pasta. We now feel confident enough to make original Sardinian pasta at home. In summary it was a wonderful evening. The time flew by. Ovan managed to create an atmosphere that feels like a night out with friends. The pasta and especially Ovan's vegan sauces were delicious. We would recommend it to anyone."

Also, for the benefit of your other clients I would like to point out that not only is the food healthy it is totally delicious.

We arrived with so much energy, and left feeling so zen, and full! Ovan took his time to explain every little detail which was helpful since it was our first time making pasta. We would definitely recommend taking the class"

NIENKE (THE NETHERLANDS)
"Fantastic pasta cooking class!! We had a wonderful time during the cooking class of Ovan. The cooking class was at his place with a stunning view over the mountains and sea and a beautiful sunset. We started with kneading our own dough which already was a lot of fun and a nice workout to get warmed up with. After that, Ovan showed us how to make all kinds of different pasta shapes and we could practice a lot. He had already prepared the delicious sauces to accompany all the different pastas so we had all the time to practice our pasta making skills with his help. We got a delicious pane carasau with bruscetta and fresh olives to eat with some wine during the making of the pasta. After that, it was time to enjoy our and Ovans work with a 4 (!!) course pasta dinner. It really was delicious and looked like it was served in a restaurant. Ovan was a perfect host and entertained us the entire evening with great tips and advice for the island."
