Shared Experience
Your experience
Welcome to Pastamania, an experience that goes beyond just a cooking class. Not only will you learn how to make homemade pasta and other delicious recipes, but you will become part of my family, welcomed as an old friend.
I will open the doors to my home, nestled in the hills of the Tuscan Chianti region, where together we will discover the secrets of traditional cooking. During the warm season, we will cook under the patio, surrounded by nature, and taste the dishes you will have created with your own hands: tagliatelle, ravioli, agnolotti, gnocchi and much more.
But it doesn't end there: a time of celebration awaits you as well, with dancing, singing and lots of laughter. I look forward to sharing the warmth of this unique experience with you.

- We had the most wonderful experience being welcomed into Bina’s home for an unforgettable cooking class. Bina creates such a lovely experience, with her husband, Massimo, by teaching many different recipes and encouraging your involvement and memory of the recipes. Expect to have fun, sing, dance, cook, learn and eat a lot of amazing food!
- L’esperienza con Bina è semplicemente fantastica! Non solo si cucina, ma si balla, si canta e ci si conosce a fondo. Si imparano tante ricette e trucchi per preparare pizza, ficattole, vari tipi di pasta e tiramisù! È impossibile finire tutto quello che si prepara! Bina e suo marito Massimo sono persone davvero straordinarie: con loro il divertimento è garantito e la scoperta della cucina toscana diventa un viaggio indimenticabile.
- Que inolvidable experiencia! Fantástico!. Conducimos 1 hora entre montañas hasta que llegamos a una pequeña casa muy acogedora en lo que parecía la cima de la montaña. Allí nos esperaban Bina y su esposo Massimo. Ellos hablando un poco inglés y nosotros un poco de italiano. pero así nos comunicamos durante 4 horas como si nos conociéramos de toda la vida. Bailamos, cantamos y por supuesto preparamos pasta. Nos ensañaron a hacer varios tipos de pasta: focaccia, tagliatele, spaghetti guitarra, raviolo (sombrero de cura), gnocchi y tiramisu. Todo absolutamente delicioso. Probamos la salsa picante de Bina y su limonchelo. Simplemente inolvidable. Cuando regresamos a Toscana iremos a visitar a nuestros nuevos amigos. Che esperienza indimenticabile! Fantastico!. Abbiamo guidato per 1 ora attraverso le montagne finché non siamo arrivati a una casetta molto accogliente su quella che sembrava la cima della montagna. Lì ci aspettavano Bina e suo marito Massimo. Loro parlano un po' di inglese e noi parliamo un po' di italiano. ma è così che abbiamo comunicato per 4 ore come se ci conoscessimo da tutta la vita. Balliamo, cantiamo e ovviamente prepariamo la pasta. Ci hanno insegnato a fare diversi tipi di pasta: focaccia, tagliatele, spaghetti alla chitarra, raviolo (cappello da prete), gnocchi e tiramisù. Tutto assolutamente delizioso. Abbiamo provato la salsa piccante di Bina e il suo limoncello. Semplicemente indimenticabile. Quando torneremo in Toscana andremo a trovare i nostri nuovi amici.
- One of the best experiences in my month loan Italy tour! I had so much fun that day and I way too much good food! They and her husband were wonderful hosts and made the experience, both fun and educational. There was no way I could eat all that good food, but I tried! Highly recommend this cooking class!
- What a fun evening this was. After the main course, we took a walk through the olive orchards with Glesch (?) the dog In tow. Then we came back for dessert. Google Translate saved the day. Much good food, laughter and dancing was involved. Bina and her husband could not have been more gracious and welcoming. It was so much fun, not only to eat such scrumptious food, but also to watch them prepare it. We would not hesitate for a moment to do this again. Our unique experience was one of the highlights of our amazing trip this year. One of us is vegetarian, and Bina made sure to create delicious veggie options. Gracie mielle!!!
