Cooking School
Day Cooking Class With Our Nona
Join us for fun, food and wine. One of the most interesting and fascinating experiences in Tuscany is taking part in a private cooking class. Tuscan cuisine is based on recipes rooted in years of tradition. We give you the opportunity to discover all the secrets of Tuscan food in an entertaining and informative private cooking class organized especially for you in our kitchen.
Our classes are fun! We call them culinary experiences–much more than a class!
In the 1600 and 1700s our kitchen was used as a collective place to prepare meals for the area families. The duration of our classes ranges from 2 to 3 hours and ends with you sitting at the table and enjoying the meal you have just prepared.
We use fresh local in-season ingredients and is taught in English in by our Nonna (who has been rolling pasta for over 25 years). Our classes are not only informative, but they are fun!
Come prepared to laugh, dance, drink Italian wine, and learn the secrets of our kitchen!
We can arrange class around your schedule. Create your own personalized class.
A usual class consists of making different types of pasta (Gnocchi, Pici, Tagliatelle, Ravioli) along with our traditional local “Aglione Sauce.”
And of course–a desert. And you you can also choose to make fresh Biscotti (Cantucci).
We always have fun rolling pasta! Our Secret? Music and Dancing!
