Shared Experience
Your experience
- Bruschetta with tomato
- Pasta frasca with basil pesto
- Tiramisu or tasting of typical local desserts
Tomato bruschetta is a tasty appetizer that can be prepared in a variety of ways. I prefer to use local tomatoes, especially two particular varieties that can be found only from local producers and never in supermarkets or stores. Let's find out about them together!
In addition, we will prepare fresh pasta using flours selected from the many available. For the sauce, we will prepare a wonderful and fragrant Italian pesto with fresh basil. For dessert, we will have the choice between the famous tiramisu or the discovery and tasting of traditional local desserts. As for wine, we will be able to taste a prosecco purchased directly from the producer or a good red wine.

- 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
