Shared Experience
Your experience
We will start the experience with excellent Prosecco, purchased directly from the producer, accompanied by seasonal appetizers such as tomato bruschetta, extra virgin olive oil, local goat cheese, and cecina, a typical local specialty. We will then move on to preparing the pizza dough, exploring the differences between flours, the use of fresh yeast or sourdough, and the importance of resting time and temperature. Together, we will create the toppings, from the classic Margherita with local mozzarella, tomato, and oregano to any personalized requests. To finish, Italy’s most iconic dessert: tiramisu! Upon request, we can also prepare traditional local sweets.

- 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
- Mónica is a lovely woman. She is kind and generous with her time and resources. She is a very good ambassador for the food of Lucca and Tuscany.
