Hello, welcome to my home! I'm Joëlle, and I've always loved traditional Italian cuisine. I live in Livorno, Tuscany, and in my summer cooking class, I'll teach you how to prepare two reimagined Tuscan specialties and, finally, a strawberry tiramisu. I'll show you the secrets to making perfect fresh pasta, from dough preparation to cooking. I'll guide you step by step through preparing the pasta sauce and creating the tomato pappa; plus, I'll teach you how to choose the right ingredients for a perfect result. At the end of the lesson, we'll sit down together at the table to enjoy the dishes we've prepared, along with a bottle of Tuscan wine. I'm happy to share my passion and knowledge of cooking with you.
Amazing experience for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens) with Joelle and her husband Ricardo. Their home is lovely and their hospitality even better. This was one of our favorite days during our two week vacation in Italy and France. Fun, relaxing, well organized class. The food was excellent. You will also learn that Joelle and Ricardo have some impressive backgrounds in the food industry. We were very impressed and hope to return again!

What a wonderful evening we had, cooking and dining!! Joelle showed us how we can make lovely dishes from Livorno. Riccardo (het husband) supported us with this and was perfect company. I can highly recommend to book this workshop with these two lovely people and I wish a very pleasant evening.

Jöelle è stata fantastica!
Ho avuto l’opportunità di passare 3 ore con lei e suo marito. Mi hanno trasmesso la loro passione per la cucina e per la fotografia. Sentire la loro storia mi ha fatto emozionare. Sin da subito siamo entrati in empatia, come se ci conoscessimo già da tempo. Che dire, le portate erano ottime e di qualità. La location è fantastica, con una vista pazzesca a due passi dal mare di Livorno. Sicuramente tornerò a trovarli. Grazie ancora dell’ospitalità e del calore.

Wonderful hospitality on top of superb cuisine by Joelle. Ricardo was so helpful thruout our real Italian experience, not only with his translation but knowledge of the entire culinary process. A truly worthwhile experience overall.

My cuisine is regional but not limited to that; I love creating creative dishes based on traditional Italian cooking. I follow seasonality and use top-quality ingredients! I particularly enjoy pastry-making in all its forms.
