In welcoming you to my town and my home, I am happy to give you a taste of local produce grown by my family. We will begin with delicious bruschetta topped with cream of fava beans and crispy guanciale, chicory and ciauscolo, accompanied by a pesto of black celery from Trevi. Next, we will delight you with polenta accompanied by a tasty sausage sauce, enriched with pork fat and lean. Finally, to end on a sweet note, we will taste delicious musty doughnuts.
It was an incredible experience to enjoy a cooking class led by Claudia with her husband Francesco helping her. We were two couples visiting Spoleto for the first time. We enjoyed the event at her home on a family farm on the outskirts of Spoleto. She was thorough, helpful, enjoyable and we all felt like one big family. She is very conscious of quality ingredients and essentially they were all farm to table. Our class menu included lentils with sausage, making the fresh pasta varietal with an amazing truffle sauce and to top it off, we made Tiramisu. Of course we enjoyed our preparation for lunch - and it was delicious! We could have stayed with Claudia and Francesco till dinner time. It was one of those infrequent memorable days! Thank you Claudia for making it possible. A presto!

My husband and I did a cooking class with Claudia starting with a walking tour in Spoleto to buy the ingredients- a great approach. Then her husband Francesco picked us up to go to their nearby farm to do the class. They were wonderful hosts, and we felt very welcome in their home. We both enjoyed the class , making pasta and preparing different types of bruschetta, and eating it was even better. It was a great way to finish our stay in Umbria!

Claudia and Francesco were superb hosts. Well organized, the freshest of local ingredients, and great language skills. We learned a great deal about Umbrian cuisine and hospitality. AND a most delicious lunch to share. We heartily recommend.

"I have always loved my territory and its products. My father cultivated the land and raised animals, so in my family we have always been used to eating excellent quality products and km 0. From the moment I got married, I continued the family tradition re-proposing the typical dishes that my father used to prepare for us and my guests are always happy when they are invited for lunch or dinner."
