Welcome to my country home. Our program will include the preparation of three recipes: an appetizer, a fresh pasta dish and a dessert, followed by a delicious three-course menu with the dishes you will have prepared. We will begin our culinary journey with a traditional platter of cold cuts and cheeses, accompanied by homemade jams made from the fruits of my plants. Then, we will try our hand at preparing local lentils with homemade sausages, a dish that captures the essence of our traditions. Next, we will literally put our hands to pasta to create Strengozzi, a fresh pasta typical of holiday Sundays, accompanied by local truffles. To end on a sweet note, we will make tiramisu together.

- An unforgettable Italian cooking experience! I recently took part in a cooking class on a Sunday morning with Claudia and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Their passion for Italian cuisine shone through in every step — from selecting the local ingredients to sharing authentic techniques and family stories that brought each recipe to life. The class was hands-on, easy to follow, and filled with tips I’ll use forever. I especially loved the fresh hand rolled pasta Strangozzi with Truffle sauce — it tasted just like something you’d get in Italy. Beyond the amazing food, Claudia and her husband Francesco created such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the experience both fun and memorable . I left not only with new skills but also with a full heart belly ! Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food and great company.
- My husband and I had a cooking class with Claudia today. The experience turned out to be so much more than a cooking class. Claudia and her husband Francesco welcomed us into their home as if we were family friends. Claudia is an exceptional cook, teacher and hostess. Her passion for cooking was evident in how she spoke about the food, taught us to prepare the food, as well as its presentation on a beautifully set table. Claudia was extremely well organized, thorough and patient in teaching us the recipes. She was so very accommodating and friendly, which made our experience so enjoyable. Francesco was kind enough to take pictures of us documenting the great experience. The highlight of our day was in sitting down with Claudia and Francesco to enjoy the delicious meal that we had made together. After our meal, Claudia and Francesco gave us a tour of their family farm, where many of the ingredients came from. We truly enjoyed our time with Claudia and Francesco, and we hope to be able to take another class with Claudia in the future. She is a great teacher!
- What an amazing day with Claudia and her husband Francesco!! My wife, 9-year-old daughter, and I adored our time with them at their home and family farm. We learned how to make homemade strengozzi pasta w/ truffles, bruschetta, tiramisu, and the best lentils I’ve ever had. (SERIOUSLY.) In fact, I’ve made the lentil recipe three times in one week since being home. Their home is filled with love, warmth, generosity, and care…and with only the freshest ingredients, most of which are grown just steps away on their family farm. Claudia walked us step by step so clearly and patiently through each recipe, and was so kind and engaging with our daughter. And the FOOD!!! And table setting!! One of the best meals we had on our trip. It included multiple courses: gorgeous figs freshly plucked from trees on the farm with fresh cheeses and cured meats, three types of bruschetta, those incredible lentils, our freshly made strengozzi with truffles, tiramisu for dessert…all accompanied by a fantastic family-made white wine. Claudia even whipped up a quick pomodoro for our daughter, who isn’t a fan of truffles (more for us! ORO! ;) Claudia and Francesco even gave us a little tour of their family farm at the end of our time together. Claudio and Francesco, we cannot thank you enough!! You made our trip incredibly special.
- What a wonderful day we got to spend with Claudia and Francesco. I learned many things about Italian food preparation and then to have lunch at their kitchen table was so perfect. Their hospitality, kindness and love for good healthy food is unsurpassed! I highly recommend this experience.
- We hebben een geweldige avond gehad bij Claudia en haar man Francesco. We voelden ons heel welkom. We hebben heerlijke lokale gerechten gemaakt. We kregen duidelijke uitleg en ook veel informatie eromheen. Na het koken stond de gezellig gedekte tafel al klaar en hadden we met elkaar een voortreffelijk diner. Tijdens de maaltijd werd er gezellig gekletst en we kregen ook nog tips voor restaurants in de buurt. Het was een hele leuke avond waar we met plezier op terugkijken!
