Your experience
- Traditional mix appetizers
- Tagliatelle (homemade pasta) with porcini mushrooms
- Apple pie
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!

- Lara's cooking workshop was a great success. We were a family with 2 children aged 14 and 8. the view from Lara's home was impressive. We were welcomed with tasty snacks and drinks. First we made delicious cookies, then the best ravioli and some gnocchi and tagliatelle from some leftover dough. We ate the ravioli for lunch with some sage and parmesan cheese. For the adults, a delicious glass of local wine and cookies for dessert. All four of us enjoyed it, learned a lot and will definitely make our own ravioli more often. This workshop is highly recommended!
- We had a truly wonderful evening with Lara and her family. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed into their home, which created such a genuine and authentic Italian atmosphere. It felt less like a cooking class and more like spending time with friends and family. Lara guided us patiently through every step of the process of making pici and ravioli from scratch. What we especially appreciated was that we were involved in each stage of the preparation, which made the experience both educational and very enjoyable. It was fascinating to learn traditional techniques and small details that make homemade pasta so special. Lara’s husband, Daniele, also added a wonderful touch to the evening by sharing interesting stories about local wines and recommending beautiful places to visit in the area. His insights made the experience even richer and more personal. The food we prepared together tasted absolutely delicious. After learning how much care and passion goes into making fresh pasta, we can truly say that nothing compares to homemade dishes prepared in such a warm environment. This was not just a cooking class but a memorable cultural experience that we will remember for a long time. Thank you for such a special evening — we would love to come back again in the future.

- We had fantastic pasta evening with Lara, her nice family and Australian couple! After that evening we have courage to buy own pasta machine, when we go back to Finland! Mille grazie Lara! ❤️
- My husband and I, and a longtime friend spent a delightful evening , cooking with Lara at her beautiful home. The outstanding view of the Tuscan landscape was stunning. Truly a slice of heaven on earth. Her entire family was both charming and welcoming, making this an authentic Italian experience. Do yourself a favor, and spend an enchanting evening in Lara’s kitchen. You will not be disappointed, and have a fond memory that will stay with you for years to come. Grazie Mille Lara, and your entire family, for sharing your home, culinarily skills, and hospitality. We were all feeling grateful to have this experience.
