Hi from Barbara!
Barbara welcomes us in a corner of paradise near Siena, immersed in the nature of wonderful Tuscany, one of the most beautiful cities of the region.A perfect location surrounded by the Sienese hills, where she loves to welcome her guests and serve typical dishes from her region. Our Cesarina is very careful about the choice of ingredients, she prefers organic products sourced locally. The vegetables are harvested from her vegetable garden, the flours are ground from ancient grains that come from a small stone mill near her house.

- Where do I begin - what a special class! We had the most exceptional evening learning about Tuscan cuisine from Barbara and her daughter - both such kind, patient and wonderful people, generous with their time and sharing their secrets of Tuscan cooking. We had a mix up with dates and Barbara was so accommodating and understanding of our mistake, even staying until 11pm as we couldn’t start until late. She went over and above. We made memories we will cherish for a long time and food we still dream of. Everything was simple enough to follow, so that we can recreate at home. We would definitely do it again! Thank you Barbara and Alyssia!
- Great experience, really authentic Tuscan cuisine Barbara is very passionate about cooking and receiving people, treated us like family Strongly recommended
- Barbara hosted our family in her beautiful Tuscan home. She is very friendly and knowledgeable! She did a great job teaching our family to make 2 pastas and a tiramisu- all delicious!
- Barbara was a wonderful host! She made us feel welcome and at home right away. We had a small class of 7 participants and it was a great size for enjoyable conversation, laughing, and learning. The recipes were easy to follow and execute - not to mention tasty. The best part was the tiramisu which was heavenly. Barbara is a skilled culinary educator and a lovely person. This was a great experience and was a memorable highlight of our trip to Italy! Grazie!
- One of the best days of our 24 day adventure... the best experience... cooking... new friends and felt so welcomed in their home. What a wonderful day we all shared... the best meal too!!!
