We can prepare full meals using fresh, local and organic products.
We like travelling through the Chianti wine region and if you are going to explore Tuscan cuisine, feel free to enquire, we will be happy to meet your expectations. If you don’t have a location with a kitchen or you would like to make a one day trip in the Chianti area, we can offer many locations on traditional Tuscan farms where we can cook together and have a wine tasting.
Cooking classes are hands- on, last 2-3 hours, and are followed by lunch or dinner when you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour!
The courses are for a minimum of two persons and can be a single lesson. We also offer personalised cookery courses of more than one day. The courses may be taken in the villa where you are staying or in a kitchen located in Chianti.
A lesson is usually held in the afternoon and lasts for 2-3 hours plus the duration of the dinner.
Lessons are in English. An interpreter can be arranged upon request but costs extra.
The price includes the materials, the practical lesson in the kitchen and serving the meal at the table. Local wine is included.
Those who dine but do not participate in the course pay only the cost of the dinner.
Please contact me with details of the number of people in your group, your location and the number of lessons you would like so that I can quote an individual price. Children are very welcome to participate in our Tuscan cookery lessons.
Pizza dinner
We will arrive with our oven, park it in the garden and set it up. With our organic ingredients, we will prepare pizza for you! We create a pizza extravaganza and you get to taste and eat as much as you like. We start with schiacciate, then the typical pizza marinara and pizza margherita, and ending with richer and fancier pizzas (including sweet ones). In the meantime, you can chat, enjoy, relax, eat and drink beer (of course).
Included in the dinner, we offer you an aperitivo of prosecco wine, some fresh salad as side dish and our delicious frozen digestive made with lemon sorbet.
Pizza lab - learn how to make pizza!
You will not only enjoy the pizza but also learn how to make it! We will kneed the dough, prepare all the right ingredients, and then, after baking, you can enjoy and eat the fruits of your labour. The buffet dinner will be like a party around the pizza oven where slowly you will become the pizzaiolo of the dinner.
This is the perfect option for families with children as they don’t have to sit around a table. Instead everyone can sit or stand as they wish, and kids may join in the process! To accompany the pizza we offer an aperitivo of prosecco wine, some fresh salad as a side dish and our delicious frozen digestive made with lemon sorbet.
