Have you ever wanted to discover the secrets of preparing three delicious fresh pastas typical of Tuscany? Join my course, where I will guide you step by step through the art of creating fresh egg pasta and one of Tuscany's oldest dishes, Pici, made only with flour and water. During the course, you will also learn how to make different traditional grandmothers' fillings and how to make tortelli, Pici and their delicious toppings.
At the end of the class, we will sit down to enjoy the fruits of our labor together, accompanied by a glass of local wine. To end on a high note, I will delight you with a Tuscan dessert prepared my way. I look forward to seeing you in front of the sea to share this fun and culinary experience together.

- Had a great experience with Ricardo and Joelle. They made us feel welcome, told us about typical food from Livorno, gave us a hands on experience at making pasta, then fed us a great mes.
- An Unforgettable Tuscan Cooking Experience! Joëlle is a fantastic cook and an excellent teacher with a warm, engaging personality. She made the entire experience both educational and fun. Her husband, Ricardo, was equally lovely — together they are the perfect hosts. We were welcomed into their home like family and taught the art of making authentic Tuscan pasta, step by step, with plenty of hands-on practice. While our dough rested, we enjoyed delicious snacks and local wine, sharing stories and laughter despite the rainy weather outside. After the class, Ricardo graciously drove us back to the port shuttle so we could easily return to our ship, an unexpected kindness that truly went above and beyond. This experience was the highlight of our trip and one we will remember fondly. Highly recommend Joëlle’s class to anyone visiting the Livorno area!
- Excellent host, beautiful home, amazing pasta making and the food was out of this world. A beautiful warm experience. Thank you.
- Joelle was amazing and our kids really enjoyed the cooking experience with her and her husband. They were kind and opened up their beautiful home to our family. Highly recommended.
- We were received very friendly and warm welcome by Joëlle and her husband. Joëlle explained us very well some traditionally dishes and recipes from Tuscany. We had a great experience to prepare with her some pasta dishes. She took attention on our preferences and allergies. We had a nice evening together.
