The Perfect Afternoon in Tuscany! - I discovered this cooking class from my travel agent, and I’m forever grateful! Katia is so warm & welcoming, and truly makes a seamless experience! I was fortunate to have a one on one experience, so I really feel like we connected & became quick friends! She is so helpful, and this class is easy and doable even if you’re a beginner cook, I cook occasionally at my own home so I felt completely comfortable! She shares delicious and easy recipes, and I felt like an honorary Italian making my own pasta! I hope to return next summer with friends & family to show them an ideal afternoon in Tuscany!

Ein perfekter Tag in einem wunderschönen Ambiente mit einem herzlichen Gastgeber und großartigem Unterricht und Essen - Mille grazie!!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful day in your amazing home. We enjoyed the cooking class a lot and learned so many new things. My daughters suggested to make one Pasta-Day every week and cook a delicious italian dish together… So we are really inspired by your teaching and warm hearted way of explaining how italian and especially tuscan food should Taste. Absolutely recommended. We will come back!!

A cooking class in the heart of Tuscany that makes you feel at home cooking among relatives and friends - This was THE Tuscan cooking experience we were looking for! A farmhouse approximately 12 centuries old, generational cooking with recipes passed down and small intimate group as we cooked in her kitchen!! We made several dishes and enjoyed them together. Simply amazing experience and I highly recommend!!

Amazing Tuscan cooking class - I come from an Italian family and have been cooking many Italian dishes my whole life. Fulvio was an amazing instructor and a very nice & funny person. He explained the reasons for doing something and taught us how to make simple, delicious dishes with very few ingredients. We even purchased some olive oil to have shipped home to the U.S. at a very reasonable price. If you are in Tuscany, you definitely need to take this class. You won’t regret it!!

Amazing food, excellent teacher! - This experience was the highlight of our trip. Katia was so incredibly warm and knowledgeable , welcomed us into her home ( a 12 thcentury farm house) and taught us to make pici, a homemade Tuscan pasta, prepare 2 sauces and a delicious chicken and prosciutto dish. We also made bruschetta, and had a cheese tasting of local cheeses. It was a delightful way to spend several hours in a beautiful area. She also runs an agriturismo and I would definitely consider staying there on my next trip.
