Your experience
We will begin with a selection of fresh and aged cheeses, accompanied by delicious local cured meats and garden vegetables. We will taste Strengozzi, a typical Spoletina-style fresh pasta. The main course is a delicious guinea fowl in salmi, served with a seasonal side dish that brings out the genuine flavors of our land. To conclude, we will offer Crescionda Spoletina. A tribute to my family, homeland and local products. During the culinary tour, you will have the opportunity to enjoy fresh fruits from the garden, including extra virgin olive oil, jams and preserves, which represent the tradition rooted in the cultivation of the land and family farming. I look forward to seeing you at my country home to share these culinary treasures.

- Claudia e suo marito ci hanno aperto la loro casa e hanno creato un'esperienza molto calorosa e invitante. Il cibo era fantastico, la compagnia non da meno, vale sicuramente la pena di tornarci
- We just spent an unforgettable evening with Claudia, her husband Francesco and their sweet daughter at their home and farm. All the ingredients we used were either from their farm and made by their family (eg. olive oil, blackberry jam, white wine, pate, eggs, prosciutto) or sourced within their community (eg. truffles, cheese, flour, red wine). We chose the hands-on cooking class with three Umbrian dishes but it actually was more like five or six different dishes with the different appetizers. We each had our own workstations with all the ingredients that we needed to make the pasta, truffle sauce, lentil and sausage stew, tiramisu and three different appetizers. With the patient guidance of Claudia we created an incredible three course spread! We sat and ate everything we made alongside the family and washed it down with wine and delicious coffee. We traded stories about our lives, jobs, family history and the nuances of our countries. Before we chose to go with Claudia, we spent several hours researching the many options available for a hands-on cooking experience in Umbria through the many different platforms and Claudia’s offering had the most authentic experience, the most recipes and the best value. We made the right choice to learn from Claudia, a certified Cesarine. We now have the skills to recreate this meal and treat our own family to a traditional Italian dinner when we get home. I should also mention that the drive through the Umbrian countryside will blow your mind! Give yourself extra time to explore the surrounding communities. Saluti!
- I can't say enough wonderful things about our cooking experience with Claudia! From the moment we stepped into her home, we felt warmly welcomed as we embarked on an unforgettable culinary journey through Umbrian cuisine. We began by preparing Lentils with Sausages, and as that simmered, we learned how to make homemade Strengozzi pasta with a delicious truffle sauce. While the pasta dried, we crafted a delightful Tiramisu for dessert. Next up were the appetizers—bruschetta topped with ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, and sausage. Every step of the way, Claudia guided us with such grace and clarity, ensuring that my mom, my son, and I all had hands-on involvement in creating these delicious dishes. The food was simply outstanding! Claudia’s husband, Francesco, captured the entire experience with photos, giving us cherished memories to take home. After cooking, we sat together at their table to enjoy wine, cheese, salami, and Claudia's incredible homemade fig jam, along with the bruschetta we had prepared. The meal continued with the main course, followed by Tiramisu and coffee—a perfect ending to a wonderful evening. Claudia and Francesco were incredibly warm and easy to talk to. It truly felt like we were sharing dinner with family. I highly recommend this cooking class with Claudia; it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. And to top it off, Claudia gave us each a jar of her homemade fig jam as a thoughtful gift!
- We had a fabulous time with Claudia and her husband. We were warmly welcomed in to their home and we prepared and ate a delicious meal. Claudia was expert at showing us how to prepare everything and we came away wanting to replicate what we ate when we get home. Aside from the great food, we had great fun chatting with Claudia about all things Italian and English. Highly recommend this experience!
- I have waited a few days to do this review..because I am honestly lost for words! It was the most amazing highlight of my trip to Italy. Claudia and Francesco..opened their home and their hearts to me. Learning to make Italian food in their home has not only opened the door for my own cooking but has given me a true glimpse of the Italian Culture and love. I highly recommend that you book this beautiful family for a night you will never forget! My introduction to Italian cooking has begun and Claudia and Francesco are the real deal. I know that along the way I can ask her questions and she will continue to guide my culinary goals! 5 stars is not enough to review this family business....they are above and beyond in every category possible. Book now! You will not be disappointed!

Cesarina from 2018Location: Spoleto Languages: Italian and English"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."
