Hi from Cristina!

Cristina welcomes us to her home in a lemon house, surrounded by greenery, in the old village of Pian dei Giullari, near the ancient home of Galileo Galilei. Our Cesarina, with passion and dedication, takes care of the vegetable garden, respecting the biological cycles of nature and using to cook her dishes only seasonal fruit and vegetables. Since she was young she has always valued the mise en place, following her mother's advice: "you can eat with your eyes too!" Over time she has learned to know and respect the ingredients and raw materials, the real protagonists of her dishes, which she cooks with passion and imagination.

Cristina and Paolo were extremely welcoming and friendly. We learnt a lot and they were very accommodating to what we wanted to cook. Would definitely recommend them!

We absolutely loved our cooking class with Cristina. She and her lovely niece Francesca welcomed us into her gorgeous home overlooking the Tuscan countryside and shared her delicious recipes. What a fun night, lots of laughs and good conversation while learning new skills. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence. We chose to walk there, and taxi back, which was spectacular and also meant we arrived with a healthy appetite! Thank you very much Cristina and Francesca!

Cristina and Paolo were amazing hosts, so warm and friendly. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them at their beautiful home and learning to make some delicious dishes. The views were AMAZING! We decided to walk back down the hill from their home which was a great way to burn off the meal and led to some additional site-seeing. Highly recommend this experience.

Cristina and Paolo were truly the greatest! This was one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had! Not only getting to make my favorite dishes from scratch, but also using a lot of their home-grown ingredients, was incredible. My friend and I’s evening with them has been the highlight of our trip and they could not have been more kind and welcoming. Hoping to bring back my family to do this again soon!
