Hi from Claudia!
"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."

- 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!
- My wife (Peggy) and I took a cooking class at Claudia home which is located in one of the farm houses. The setting was beautiful as we were invited into Claudia and Francisco's home for dinner. Claudia showed us how to make the pasta with truffle and tiramisu. We had a wonderful experience making those two dishes with Claudia while Claudia's husband taking pictures for us during the entire class. Claudia and Francisco are super friendly. I highly recommend Claudia's cooking class since we had such a positive experience. We can see ourselves taking another class from her in the near future (within this year). Sam
- Claudia e suo marito ci hanno aperto la loro casa e hanno creato un'esperienza molto calorosa e invitante. Il cibo era fantastico, la compagnia non da meno, vale sicuramente la pena di tornarci
- Sorry it took me so long to write this review but being gone for six week and returning with a cold we are just regaining normalcy, and honestly, I am at a loss for words! It was the most amazing highlight of our trip to Italy. We were fortunate enough to have three classes with Claudia and Francesco over three weeks. They opened their home and their hearts to us, and it was like being with cherished family. Learning to make Italian food in their home was a refresher course for me having grown up with Italian parents, but it was a way for my husband to learn how to make some Italian dishes that he would never allow me to teach him. It was so much fun cooking together, then especially enjoying the fruits of our labor with good food, conversation and a reminder of the Italian Culture I grew up with love. I highly recommend booking with Claudia for an experience you will cherish forever. Thank you, Claudia, and Francesco, for your warmth and hospitality. Grazie dal profondo del nostril cuore
- 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!
