Imagine a charming villa surrounded by olive trees and the scents of fresh herbs, with a shaded garden and an organic vegetable patch that provides seasonal produce every day. More than a cooking class, this is an experience to share: recipes, stories, and laughter in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a beginner or a passionate home cook, you’ll return home with new skills, authentic Italian recipes, and unforgettable memories. Our menu includes durum wheat pasta with seasonal vegetables, fresh egg tagliatelle with meat ragù (a traditional family recipe, also available in a vegetarian version), ricotta and spinach ravioli, and to finish, the classic tiramisù or a variation of your choice.

- The best experience...cooking with Rossana and Riberto was amazing!! I am grateful to spend the afternoon with them!
- Beautiful experience! Rossana is a great cook willing to share her family recipes. Together with her husband Alberto, they welcomed me into their lovely home. I enjoyed cooking and then eating different & delicious food. The only surprise was that I had signed up for a group class and it was just me.
- Thank you Rossana and Alberto for welcoming me to your beautiful home to make the most delicious lunch. Everything was delicious and I had the most wonderful time. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone
- A sensational experience in a welcoming and familiar environment. Rossana and Alberto (husband) make you feel at home. The family lunch after the cooking class is the highlight of the experience. I highly recommend it!
- What a lovely evening with Rossana as Chef and Alberto her sous Chef. I attended with my 3 girlfriends and we all agreed we had a great time. Rossana is a wonderful chef and her recipes were easy to understand and I loved the hands on instruction. I was surprised how new the pasta was to me. I personally love mortadella and to have it in a ravioli really blew my mind. For dessert we made tiramisu. I've always made it with coffee but Rossana said we could make it with Amaretto. Who knew and was it ever delicious! Rossana and Alberto have spent quite a bit of time in the USA and their english is very good. Unlike my Italian. So I really appreciated everything about them. They really do the slow food movement. They get fresh eggs and garden vegetables and have a grove of olive trees for their very own olive oil. I'm very jealous of their fresh and organic products. I can not recommend this couple more. Please spend part of the day in their lovely city of Lucca before heading to their beautiful home for a wonderful experience. Thank you Rossana and Alberto! It was a memorable experience! Best wishes, Jerri

Where
Rossana
Cesarina from 2024Location: Lucca (LU) Languages: Italian and EnglishI prefer simple dishes made with just a few wholesome, seasonal ingredients, often harvested directly from my own vegetable garden and orchard. I love to enhance the authentic flavors of the land using extra virgin olive oil that we produce ourselves. My cooking is rooted in traditional Tuscan cuisine, but I also enjoy experimenting: I create original recipes that I carefully jot down in my personal recipe book, built over time with love and passion.
