Shared Experience
Your experience
Maestro Puccini, a great food lover, inspires us to discover the recipes he loved as we listen to his music in the garden.
Spelt soup in bean broth, a tasty dish also served warm. Beans al fiasco, on toasted bread, topped with extra virgin olive oil and fresh spring onions. Then we will prepare an appetizer with at least two variations of bruschetta (tomato, fettunta or lard), with local cold cuts and cheeses and delicious whole grain bread. As wine we will offer you a prosecco directly from the producer. To conclude we will taste a typical dessert of our grandparents: peaches in wine in addition to the dishes prepared during the course.

- Monica was a wonderful host and teacher! She was very informative and funny, making us feel very welcome into her home. Monica was always checking in with us to make sure everything was good within the experience. All of the food was so good and we greatly appreciated being able to share our creation with our family. I would absolutely recommend this experience with Monica!
- Es war wunderbar ! Wir sind so beschenkt worden mit einer wunderbaren Kochlehrerin Monika ! Haben viel gelernt und freuen uns jetzt auch schon, die Rezepte zuhause selbst auszuprobieren ! Es war einfach nur genial ! Und wir empfehlen es allen, die jetzt noch zögern ! Geht zu Monica, Ihr werdet begeistert sein ! Kochen in einer echten italienischen Atmosphäre ! Einfach klasse !
- 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!
