Your experience
  • Pizza, ficattole and focaccia
  • Lasagne al ragù
  • Tiramisù with coffee

I am a Calabrese who has made Tuscany her home, with an undying passion for cooking. I love experimenting with a wide range of dishes, always adding my personal touch of creativity. Although I focus mainly on Tuscan dishes, I never fail to include a bit of my native Calabria. We will start by making pizzas and focaccias, using a high-hydration dough, and then dive into the art of the famous Tuscan ficattole.

Lasagna is a must in Italy, made in every region. During our class, we will learn how to make a perfect béchamel sauce and assemble lasagna with passion and skill. I look forward to an unforgettable culinary experience, where Tuscan flavors will mix with the joy of my native Calabria.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Unforgettable Experience! We had the absolute joy of celebrating a “big” birthday with a personal cooking class hosted by the wonderful Binna and her beautiful family. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. Binna’s colorful personality, warmth, and infectious energy instantly set the tone for what became an unforgettable day. Together with her husband Massimo—a true artist in every sense—their lovely daughter, Eliza, and charming grandson, we were invited into their home and hearts. We learned the delicate art of pasta making, enjoyed mouthwatering homemade focaccia pizza, and, of course, shared plenty of wine, laughter, singing, and even some dancing! It wasn’t just a cooking class; it was a full immersion into Italian hospitality, family, and joy. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and memories we’ll cherish forever. Grazie mille, Binna and family, for a truly magical experience!

My wife and I took Bina’s cooking class during our honeymoon. Her and her husband Massimo were incredibly kind and hospitable. We learned how to make many different pastas, tiramisu, and some Italian appetizers as well. All the food was spectacular so make sure that you come hungry. They both speak fairly good English but at times needed to use google translate. However, this did not take away from the experience or fun at all. Highly recommend!

My husband and I took a cooking class with Bina on our honeymoon. We found the class originally because we wanted to learn to make our favorite treat — tiramisu. Our goal was not only met and we made the best tiramisu we had ever had, but we learned to make fun pasta shapes, pizza, and ficattole. We laughed, danced (county line dancing to be exact), sang songs, and made amazing memories. Bina and her daughter Eliza, who helped translate for us, were rays of sunshine and delight. We are so excited to recreate the dishes we learned in our home in the USA and for our friends. Our class with Bina was our favorite part of our honeymoon.

We had so much fun cooking with Bina and Massimo! My husband, myself and my 3 children (ages, 10, 8 and 4) showed up to our pasta-making class sopping wet after having been caught outside in a rainstorm. Bina warmly welcomed us and dried us off and gave me a warm housecoat to cover myself up with. We cooked, we danced, we listened to music, we ate the most delicious food that we prepared. We ate all together family style and then Massimo made us donuts! We took home leftovers that I heated the next day in our Airbnb. We had the loveliest time with the loveliest people with the loveliest view. I highly recommend this experience with Bina!
