Shared Experience
Your experience
- Maremma tortelli
- Pici
- Tiramisu
I will welcome you to my beachfront home, together with Riccardo, for an authentic and engaging experience. We'll toast with a glass of wine on the terrace before getting our hands in the pasta and discovering the secrets of traditional Tuscan cuisine. We will prepare together two types of fresh pasta typical of Tuscany: egg pasta tortelli maremmani and eggless pasta pici senesi. The sauces will vary according to the season and the flavors of the day, but a good ragout is always a must. To end on a sweet note, we will make tiramisu, the most famous Italian dessert in the world, which we will taste accompanied by a glass of Vin Santo. A perfect experience for those who want to discover Tuscany through its cuisine, good wine and conviviality!

- We spent the morning at Joëlle and Ricardo's in Livorno. They are super lovely hosts, and I wish there was a Joëlle&Ricardo in every town we visit! We were 3 generations: my 10yo daughter, my 78yo active mother and myself (f 50). My mom speaks French and understands Italian, and I speak English, French and Italian, so the class was a fun fluent mix of whatever language came first to our mind (Joëlle being a Belge lady having lived in Italy for several decades, and Ricardo being a local). Joëlle was graceful enough to choose vegetarian recipes to our request, and allowed my daughter to actively help preparing the food - she had a blast using the pasta cutter, rolling the picci and folding the ravioli! Joëlle was also very helpful assisting us weighing the food since my child has a medical condition that requires calculating the food hydrates based on their weight. She made everything so easy for us! Both her and Ricardo were easy to be with, generous with their time and patient with my kid. They made the conversation flow naturally and made it feel like we were good old friends. They had the ingredients nicely prepped when we arrived, so we could focus on the recipes right away. They also had a lovely Italian aperitivo ready to enjoy with wine while we waited for the dough to rest. Their house is tastefully decorated, modern, clean, welcoming and with beautiful views over the sea. Everything was perfect! Even finding a place to park on the street was easy (we visited in July and drove from San Vicenzo). Thanks Joëlle and Ricardo for helping us create such happy memories of our trip to Italy! Can't wait to get back home to make tiramisu following your recipe again!
- Had a great experience with Ricardo and Joelle. They made us feel welcome, told us about typical food from Livorno, gave us a hands on experience at making pasta, then fed us a great mes.
- Excellent host, beautiful home, amazing pasta making and the food was out of this world. A beautiful warm experience. Thank you.
- Joelle was amazing and our kids really enjoyed the cooking experience with her and her husband. They were kind and opened up their beautiful home to our family. Highly recommended.
- We were received very friendly and warm welcome by Joëlle and her husband. Joëlle explained us very well some traditionally dishes and recipes from Tuscany. We had a great experience to prepare with her some pasta dishes. She took attention on our preferences and allergies. We had a nice evening together.
Great family activity with supernice hosts -
