Hi from Elena!

- Our cooking class with Elena was a highlight of our three-week trip—our daughters (ages 6 and 8) declared it their favorite meal of all. Elena welcomed us warmly into her home and guided us through the process of making ravioli, tagliatelle, and a delicious dessert. She was kind and patient with the girls, letting them get hands-on with the dough and pasta. Despite a language barrier, we shared laughter, learning, and a wonderful meal together. It was a great evening—heartfelt, delicious, and full of joy. Grazie mille, Elena!
- Esperienza davvero fantastica. Mi sono sentita come a casa.... Elena è una persona davvero solare, disponibile e molto socievole. Con lei ho imparato a fare delle buonissime pietanze toscane che sicuramente rifarò. La sua casa e' molto accogliente, immersa nella campagna. Ad accompagnare il tutto è stato un buon vino toscano. Sicuramente proverò un'altra esperienza con lei. ☺️
- We did the three course menu with Elena, and it was simply amazing! Elena is a lovely, chatty person who loves cooking. We did the class with our 2 year old son who also got busy making pasta with Elena :) We highly recommend!
- What a wonderful afternoon spent with Elena! She graciously welcomed us into her home and kitchen! We enjoyed helping to prepare the items on our menu learning from Elena as we went along. The food was delicious, in fact, some of the best we have had! Elena was so kind and we felt as though we left as friends… Such a wonderful experience - more than we had hoped for! Thank you Elena for a delicious meal, a wonderful experience and a new friendship!!’ Our hearts and stomachs are full. Best of the best!!!
- Elena was so lovely and kind, her home was beautiful and she was a fantastic teacher. We also came with our three year old daughter and Elena was so helpful with her and she loved learning to cook the pasta! I highly recommend this experience - it was a short drive from Prato and we loved it :)
