Hands-on cooking class with starter, pasta and dessert
Shared Experience
Your experience
- Variety of Tuscan croutons
- Ravioli (homemade pasta) with butter and sage
- Tiramisu or traditional local dessert
We will prepare Tuscan crostini together: fettunta with extra virgin olive oil, tomato crostini and hot crostini with stracchino cheese and sausage (for those who are not vegetarians).
Ravioli represent one of the typical first courses of Italian culture. We prepare them exclusively with selected flours, very fresh ricotta from the shepherd of our country, spinach and fragrant aromas that we will discover during the preparation. Upon request, it will be possible to prepare tiramisu or discover other typical local recipes. As for wine, we will taste a prosecco purchased directly from the producer and/or a good quality red wine.

- 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.
- My husband and I had an incredible experience with Monica and her husband. The house was lovely, as we made food on the back patio. We started by making the dough and then while the dough raised, we had some appetizers that were local to their area. We had incredible conversation, although somewhat challenging with the language, but we all did incredibly well. We then made the pasta and the sauces for the noodles. It was an incredible night! And one that I would recommend to anyone.
- Monica and her husband were wonderful hosts and took great care and time to teach and create a fun experience.
- We had such a lovely time with Monica during our cooking class! She treated us like family, and served us to some of the most delicious food we have had in Italy! She was a great instructor, and made the experience both fun and educational, and really gave the class a personal touch! I highly recommend Monica for an authentic Italian cooking experience!!
