An absolute must - cooking lessons, Tuscan style. - Both Francesco and Julia were absolutely wonderful to learn from. Although I speak Italian fluently, it was not a necessity. The recipes were written out and easy to follow. They used simple ingredients that could easily be found once we return to the states, fortunately. I highly recommend this event. Preparing the food was interesting which culminated in eating the food we prepared. Everything tasted delicious! We also enjoyed chatting with our fellow classmates from Australia.

Fantastic cooking experience - This fun, informative class was a trip highlight. We had excellent instructors who showed us how to make Tuscan soup, pick with h an easy and delicious sauce, meat w/shallots, and almond Christmas cookies. Recipes are easy enough to make at home, with simple ingredients. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

A fun way to have dinner and learn about Tuscan cuisine - Lella has retired, the cooking classes are now run by her successor Francesco, but don't let that deter you, Francesco did a great job running the class, in both Italian and English, with support from a translator when needed. Everyone was encouraged to have hands-on participation in the cooking, it was a lot of fun. The food we prepared included a Tuscan soup with bread, hand-made pici pasta and a sauce to go with it, and panacotta. There was plenty of wine to accompany the meal when the cooking was done. A very enjoyable afternoon and evening!

The perfect beginners cooking class - This was the BEST experience I could have ever asked for! From start to finish we felt like they truly cared about teaching us and helping us understand each recipe in depth. They even gave us some tips on things we could do at home to make the process easier! The food was absolutely delicious and I really feel like I can make it on my own now! 1000/10 recommend if you are in the area.

A lovely thing to do in Siena - We enjoyed this class very much. We learned quite a bit, had fun and then sat down to a delicious four course dinner. The other participants were good company and Francisco was very good at showing us the "how" plus explaining the "why".

Delicious taste of Siena - Well organized, friendly class. We created a delicious dinner, with step by step instructions in Italian and English. We learned how to make soup, home made pasta with sauce and cook a pork roast, using simple ingredients. Then we all sat together and ate our dinner. I would highly recommend this class to anyone
