    The scent of porcini mushrooms will accompany our evening together.

    We will begin with an appetizer consisting of local cured meats, potato and porcini flan, and bruschetta with porcini sauce. This will be followed by homemade tagliatelle that we will dress with porcini mushrooms, and to close on a high note, apple pie with vanilla sauce. All accompanied by good wine and a beautiful view of the Tuscan hills. I look forward to seeing you!

    We had the most amazing cooking class at Lara’s home in Tuscany! She welcomed us with such warmth, and learning how to make pizza in her kitchen was an unforgettable experience. Her whole family is incredibly kind and hospitable — they made us feel right at home. The class was fun, hands-on, and full of laughter. My kids absolutely loved it! It was one of the highlights of our trip. If you haven’t cooked at Lara’s house, you haven’t truly been to Tuscany. Grazie mille, Lara and family!

    This was one of the best experiences we had in Tuscany. Lara and her family were fabulous and gracious hosts. We felt we welcomed and comfortable throughout the class, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the company. It was definitely a holiday highlight for us. Anyone considering it shouldn’t think twice, just sign up. You’ll have a great time!

    We had the pleasure of being Lara’s first class of 2025. The food and hospitality offered by Lara and here entire family was beyond expectations. Can’t wait to book another class during our next trip to Tuscany.

    We had a wonderful experience with Lara, Daniel and her family. We started off with some bread and fresh olive oil- amazing the quality of the oil- it had just been pressed yesterday. The tiramisu we made was so easy but wonderful. They taught us how to make ravioli and pici. It was an unbelievable meal! The ravioli were stuffed with local porcini mushrooms and ricotta. She cooked them in a zucchini sauce that was great! The pici was cooked with a ham and salami tomato sauce - it was delicious. We had local white and red wine with the meal - a great treat! This was a great first day in Tuscany! Would highly recommend it and the next time we are in Tuscany we will get with Lara and Daniel again- it was just a special evening with wonderful hospitality in a gorgeous setting.

    We enjoyed a beautiful meal with in a lovely home with Lara and her family. They prepared Tiramisu, Gnudi, and porcini mushroom risotto. The porcini season was in full swing and they were picked from the woods near to Lara's home. She also prepared a beautiful charcuterie board for our aperitivo. We highly recommend spending time with Lara!
