Hi from Barbara!

Barbara welcomes us in Montepulciano Station, a historic village nestled on the hills in the province of Siena, near the characteristic medieval village is surrounded by three circular walls and is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the area. If you see it for yourself, you'll soon understand why: the old town sprawls over a steep hill, adorned with stunning towers and steeples, while its square opens onto the breathtaking panorama of the Tuscan countryside. Our Cesarina’s country house encapsulates this charming atmosphere. Her beautiful wine cellar is home to dozens of aging bottles of local wine, and the rest of the apartment is warm and welcoming. It is here that Barbara serves us her local specialties; simple, but with sterling character and unforgettable taste.

We had an absolutely wonderful time cooking with Barbara. She was warm and welcoming and an amazing teacher. We made 2 delicious pasta dishes and tiramisu! Thank you so much Barbara for welcoming us into your home. We cannot wait to make pasta at home.

Barabra was our host and she created the most amazing, memorable, informative and delicious experience imaginable. She shares her culinary experience patiently and passionately. She kept all the instructions simple and concise and coached us through every step. She shared the ‘secrets’ to making ‘perfect’ dishes and the rich history behind them. We finished feeling super confident we can repeat the process at home. This will be a major highlight of our trip. Do not miss this experience!!!

We had a lovely evening with Barbara. We made gnocchi and pici pastas and cantucci for dessert. Barbara was lovely - she is very friendly and she made us feel at home in her kitchen.

Cooking with Barbara was so much fun. She gave us great tips to make our own pasta and gnocchi and we are looking forward to try her recipes at home. We can totally recommend doing the cooking class with her.
