- Bread
- Focaccia
In Italian households, baking bread at home is an ancient ritual, filled with aromas, actions, and patience. It is a special moment that embodies our tradition. Bread can be made in countless ways: using different types of flour (whole wheat, 00, semolina), with or without oil, with little or no salt, enriched with various seeds, using yeast or a long fermentation process. It can be shaped into different forms or made as a single loaf. The slow fermentation is the key step to ensuring the success of our experience. We will complete it by tasting the freshly baked bread and preparing together various types of bruschetta: with tomato, evo oil, and other seasonal delicacies. The same procedure, with a different baking method, is used to make focaccia. A good wine will accompany the dishes

- Monica was a last minute switch for us as our original chef became sick the day before our class. We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher and guide to Italian cuisine. We took this class while on our honeymoon, and it was one of our favorite experiences during our three weeks in Italy. She and her husband were both incredibly warm and inviting, and made us feel like part of their family. We felt that we got much more than just a cooking class, but also an introduction and welcome into Italian culture. We will absolutely be returning when we come back to Italy.
- I am the travel advisor who booked Gayle and her sisters’ cooking class. I have just heard from Gayle, and she raved about the wonderful experience you provided for them. Thank you so much for all of your efforts!
- Monica and her husband welcomed us in her home and had a lovely family dinner with us. We made two fresh pastas that were delicious. Besides the pasta, they had prepared different food for us to taste. Unfortunately we did not make tiramisu but overall it was a great experience!
- Monica and her husband Paulo were superb hosts. We had a very enjoyable, entertaining and authentic Tuscan culinary experience. Monica was an excellent teacher both in describing verbally and demonstrating what we were required to do. Our engagement in choosing the produce and dishes we cooked plus trying the fruit and herbs from Monica’s garden also added to the experience. We would have no hesitation in recommending to our friends
