Cold cream of courgette with mozzarella, origano and anchovy
Homemade egg traditional pasta similar to maccheroni with season vegetables
Home made ice-cream stracciatella and season fresh fruit
Here is a Summer proposal of the Tuscan rural tradition. The experience will take place in the large kitchen with the possibility of accessing the garden and surrounding nurseries. You will taste an original appetizer served with slices of homemade bread and you will be surprised by the homemade garganelli with seasonal vegetable sauce: a unique egg pasta, portions of puff pastry formed with a wooden frame comb. The meal will end with homemade ice cream and fresh seasonal fruit.
We attended a cooking class on July 28th, 2024. It was a really lovely evening.
There wasn’t that much actual teaching — it was more about stories, traditions, and the local area.
Personally, I would describe it more as a private dinner in a private home.
It definitely had its charm — it was a wonderful evening with delicious food. Thank you from all of us

Luisa was beyond accommodating and kind. We had the absolute best time. She welcomed us into her home with love and spent time to teach us little techniques of Italian food. We got to make two different types of pasta as well as tiramisu. Her daughter even happened to be in town and was generous enough to spend time with us. My husband and I had the best time and we can't wait to share all the things we have learned with our kids! Highly recommend. Grazie Millie!

Wat een mooie kans om op vakantie in Italië te leren hoe je verfijnde vormen van pasta zelf kunt maken. En hoe smaakvol zelfgemaakte tiramisu is.
Luisa was een goede leermeester die daar naast op een plezierige wijze ook andere zaken die met de cultuur van het land te maken hebben. , besprak.

My family and I truly enjoyed the cooking class with Luisa. She not only shared her great recipes and techniques, she shared a lot of history with us and made us feel like part of her family. We were in Italy for three weeks and this was one of the highlights of our trip for me!

Our group of 7, including two kids, absolutely adored our experience with Luisa! She made us feel so welcome in her home and shared so much more than just food! We all learned so much about the techniques as well as the tradition behind the recipes AND we all loved every recipe. We are so excited to try them all again at home! Luisa was so warm and kind and lovely to spend an evening with! This experience was a delight and a highlight of our entire time in Italy!

"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."
