Many of the traditional Tuscan dishes are vegan. Tuscan peasants in the past hardly had any meat, fish or animal protein available. And so they were ingenious in creating tasty, flavorful and nutritious dishes. We will discover some of these typical dishes and as we prepare them together I will also tell you about the traditions related to these dishes and to a world that no longer exists, drawing on the experiences of my peasant grandparents. We will take a plunge into an ancient Tuscany that is, however, at the same time modern.
Dogs are welcome, they will keep my little dog Tosca company!

- The cooking class was a blast. Sara and her son were so nice and welcoming it really felt like we were friends hanging out in their home. We learned a lot, ate the amazing food we made, and had a spectacular view of the Tuscan hills.
- Our cooking class with Sarah and her son Lorenzo was so much fun ! We all enjoyed it! They were so welcoming and the dishes we made all came out delicious!! We will definitely do this again.
- Sara was the perfect host! The experience was more than just a cooking class, it was like having dinner with family. We had so much fun cooking together in her beautiful home! The pasta, the tiramisu, and the hosts were all exceptional! Thank you Sara for your warmth and gracious hospitality. This was the highlight of our Tuscan vacation!
- My husband, daughter and I spent a wonderful afternoon with Sara in her beautiful home. She is so warm and inviting and made us feel completely at home! We made and had a delicious lunch and topped it off with homemade tiramisu! This was the highlight of our time in Italy and can’t recommend Sara enough.
- We had the most magical experience with Sara in her gorgeous home! The food was delicious but we mostly loved her warm company and enjoyed sitting down for an incredible meal all together. One of the highlights of our 2+ weeks in Italy!

Cesarina from 2024Location: Chiocchio Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, FrenchI love rediscovering my mother's recipes and preparing traditional Tuscan first courses. I have my own sourdough starter and make bread, pizza, focaccia, rolls, flatbreads, and breadsticks, all at home using various types of flour. I also make vegan dishes, but the traditional ones that you wouldn't expect to be vegan. My cooking is rustic and simple, with an eye on sustainability. Additionally, I make pantry cakes and traditional sweet leavened baked goods.
