Your experience

Stuffed pasta on the grill
Pici (homemade noodles) with a sauce of fried breadcrumbs and Pecorino
Zuppa Inglese

I invite you to my quintessential Tuscan home where we'll explore three dishes steeped in our local tradition. We'll combine flour, water, and salt to create "pici", a pasta we will shape and season with breadcrumbs or unique local garlic. Another specialty is the "tortelli alla lastra", hailing from the mountains, this stuffed pasta, filled with potatoes or vegetables, was traditionally cooked on stones. Our culinary journey will culminate with zuppa inglese, a dessert reminiscent of tiramisù but distinctly Tuscan, a Sunday staple by my grandmother.

We'll use fresh, local produce either from my garden or nearby market. To complement our meal, we'll enjoy Chianti wine produced on the hills of Arezzo. And if weather permits, we could relish our gastronomical adventure in my spacious garden.

: This was a highlight of our honeymoon! Francesco was so kind, friendly, and a wonderful teacher!! I highly recommend this to anyone who has interest in cooking (and eating!!) Italian food. Thank you Francesco!
: We did a home cooking class with Francesco and it was the highlight of our trip to Italy! He taught our family how to make two kinds of pasta and an authentic dessert, all tailored to our dietary needs and preferences. The food and wine were delicious, but the best part was Francesco himself—such a warm and kind young man, and so knowledgeable about local cuisine and willing to share. It was a wonderful experience to get off the beaten path, meet Francesco and his lovely family, learn some Italian, see their charming farm, and have memories to take home. Highly recommend this experience—I would give 10 stars if I could!

Francesco

Cesarina from 2023Location: Arezzo Languages: Italian, English, Spanish

I live in a farmhouse in the countryside around Arezzo, just 10 minutes from the beautiful historic center. My family and I run a small organic farm: we mainly produce olive oil and hazelnuts, but we also have a garden that provides us with seasonal vegetables at zero kilometers, while my grandfather raises farm animals, rabbits, chickens, and hens, which always give us fresh eggs. I've always been connected to the traditions of my land: my grandparents passed on to me the secrets of Aretine cuisine, which I then deepened on my own, both from old recipe books and by going around the valleys of the province. The cuisine I offer is what my grandparents enjoyed as children in these countryside: a peasant cuisine that uses simple but genuine raw materials, combined with the imagination and inventiveness transmitted for centuries in Aretine kitchens. The dishes I propose vary for each season of the year: depending on what the earth offers. In summer, fruit and vegetables reign in the kitchen: tomato, onion, and basil are essential ingredients, along with bread, the most popular dishes are panzanella and pappa al pomodoro. Summer was also a time of celebration during the wheat harvest: large lunches were prepared with poultry, geese, ducks, chickens, and rabbits, whose sauce enriched hand-pulled egg pasta, which here takes the name of pappardella or maccherone. I enjoy making hand-pulled pasta and am ready to share my methods and recipes with my guests.
