Welcome to my kitchen, nestled in the green hills of Tuscany, a stone's throw from San Gimignano. Here, in addition to discovering all the secrets of leavened doughs—from pizza to focaccia—you will also have the opportunity to learn a little Italian!

Together we will prepare pizza dough and, if my husband Max, the family pastry chef, is there, we will also make doughnuts. I look forward to cooking with you, but also to dancing, singing, and sharing an authentic and enjoyable experience together!

On our recent visit to Tuscany, my daughter and I booked a cooking class with the wonderful Bina. We both agree that it was by far the best experience of our trip! Bina and her wonderful husband Massimo welcomed us into their home and treated us as if we were old friends. Wine was poured, and the fun began. We began with a very detailed explanation of how to prepare a wonderful tiramisu — or as Bina liked to call it — Binamisu! It was fun and, when it came down to later eating it, it was absolutely delicious. We were then shown how to prepare different types of pasta from scratch, from preparing the dough and rolling it by hand (so fun) to creating the different types of pasta. We also got to make a heart-shaped pizza, which was a delightful surprise. When it came down to all of us finally sitting down to eat all the delicious foods we prepared, it couldn’t have been a more warm and welcoming experience. There was more wine, and laughter, and even some singing. It felt as if we could have stayed all night, that’s how warm and welcoming our hosts were. If you want to take away not just how to prepare some dishes, but to have a memorable and delightful experience, with two of the nicest people you could ever want to meet, then book your class with Bina and Massimo. You will be extremely happy (and full!) An absolutely wonderful experience!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Unforgettable Experience! We had the absolute joy of celebrating a “big” birthday with a personal cooking class hosted by the wonderful Binna and her beautiful family. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. Binna’s colorful personality, warmth, and infectious energy instantly set the tone for what became an unforgettable day. Together with her husband Massimo—a true artist in every sense—their lovely daughter, Eliza, and charming grandson, we were invited into their home and hearts. We learned the delicate art of pasta making, enjoyed mouthwatering homemade focaccia pizza, and, of course, shared plenty of wine, laughter, singing, and even some dancing! It wasn’t just a cooking class; it was a full immersion into Italian hospitality, family, and joy. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and memories we’ll cherish forever. Grazie mille, Binna and family, for a truly magical experience!

My wife and I took Bina’s cooking class during our honeymoon. Her and her husband Massimo were incredibly kind and hospitable. We learned how to make many different pastas, tiramisu, and some Italian appetizers as well. All the food was spectacular so make sure that you come hungry. They both speak fairly good English but at times needed to use google translate. However, this did not take away from the experience or fun at all. Highly recommend!

My husband and I took a cooking class with Bina on our honeymoon. We found the class originally because we wanted to learn to make our favorite treat — tiramisu. Our goal was not only met and we made the best tiramisu we had ever had, but we learned to make fun pasta shapes, pizza, and ficattole. We laughed, danced (county line dancing to be exact), sang songs, and made amazing memories. Bina and her daughter Eliza, who helped translate for us, were rays of sunshine and delight. We are so excited to recreate the dishes we learned in our home in the USA and for our friends. Our class with Bina was our favorite part of our honeymoon.
