- We had a fantastic time with Claudia and Francesco. As well as learning some new techniques and eating delicious food, it was wonderful to be welcomed into their home. Their passion for the local food culture really shone through and we had some great conversations about the differences between the food cultures in Italy and the UK. This was more than just a cooking class, it was an immersive experience which, of all the things we have done while on holiday here, made us feel most connected to the region and people.
- My husband and I had a cooking class with Claudia today. The experience turned out to be so much more than a cooking class. Claudia and her husband Francesco welcomed us into their home as if we were family friends. Claudia is an exceptional cook, teacher and hostess. Her passion for cooking was evident in how she spoke about the food, taught us to prepare the food, as well as its presentation on a beautifully set table. Claudia was extremely well organized, thorough and patient in teaching us the recipes. She was so very accommodating and friendly, which made our experience so enjoyable. Francesco was kind enough to take pictures of us documenting the great experience. The highlight of our day was in sitting down with Claudia and Francesco to enjoy the delicious meal that we had made together. After our meal, Claudia and Francesco gave us a tour of their family farm, where many of the ingredients came from. We truly enjoyed our time with Claudia and Francesco, and we hope to be able to take another class with Claudia in the future. She is a great teacher!
- What a wonderful day we got to spend with Claudia and Francesco. I learned many things about Italian food preparation and then to have lunch at their kitchen table was so perfect. Their hospitality, kindness and love for good healthy food is unsurpassed! I highly recommend this experience.
- We had a wonderful cooking class with Claudia. She was a great instructor and we successfully made some great pastas and tiramisu! It was perfectly hands on. We really enjoyed talking to the family and eating the food we had prepared! We would highly recommend this to anyone wanting an authentic cooking experience!
- We just spent an unforgettable evening with Claudia, her husband Francesco and their sweet daughter at their home and farm. All the ingredients we used were either from their farm and made by their family (eg. olive oil, blackberry jam, white wine, pate, eggs, prosciutto) or sourced within their community (eg. truffles, cheese, flour, red wine). We chose the hands-on cooking class with three Umbrian dishes but it actually was more like five or six different dishes with the different appetizers. We each had our own workstations with all the ingredients that we needed to make the pasta, truffle sauce, lentil and sausage stew, tiramisu and three different appetizers. With the patient guidance of Claudia we created an incredible three course spread! We sat and ate everything we made alongside the family and washed it down with wine and delicious coffee. We traded stories about our lives, jobs, family history and the nuances of our countries. Before we chose to go with Claudia, we spent several hours researching the many options available for a hands-on cooking experience in Umbria through the many different platforms and Claudia’s offering had the most authentic experience, the most recipes and the best value. We made the right choice to learn from Claudia, a certified Cesarine. We now have the skills to recreate this meal and treat our own family to a traditional Italian dinner when we get home. I should also mention that the drive through the Umbrian countryside will blow your mind! Give yourself extra time to explore the surrounding communities. Saluti!

Cesarina from 2018Location: Spoleto Languages: Italian and English"I have always loved my territory and its products. My father cultivated the land and raised animals, so in my family we have always been used to eating excellent quality products and km 0. From the moment I got married, I continued the family tradition re-proposing the typical dishes that my father used to prepare for us and my guests are always happy when they are invited for lunch or dinner."
