Lara

My passion is authentic Tuscan cuisine, made with fresh, genuine ingredients, traditional techniques, and aromas that tell the story of our land. Every dish here is a little journey: from flavorful, juicy grilled meats to freshly baked bread, from handmade pasta to crispy, delicious pizza and schiacciata.In my cooking classes, it’s not just about learning recipes—I want to share tips, techniques, and little secrets that will turn your kitchen into a creative playground. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, you’ll find the space to experiment, taste, and have fun, taking home not only delicious dishes but also an unforgettable experience.

Lara was amazing! She gave us a pasta and dessert cooking class my kids loved and made us a multi course meal in the villa we rented for my 40th birthday. It was such a special night, she was so lovely and the wine pairings were a real treat.

Thanks for the nice dinner. We learned a lot about the menu in the Toscana and we had a lot of fun with the preparation of pasta. Lara has a nice location and was well prepared. Thanks Lara for your hospitality !

We had a very nice evening together with another couple. Lara's home is beautiful and the view is amazing! We were really excited to learn more about making pasta and the site told us we were gonna make 2 different sorts. We sadly only made 1 sort of pasta (tagiatelle) and didn't learn as much as we would have hoped. We made the dough and spinned the machine but then Lara did the hard part and the cooking. We did get a lot of food and some wine at the beginning which was nice. And then made some tiramisu which was fun to do but since I have made tiramisu before not that special and didn't learn some "italian tips and tricks". In the end the food tasted amazing, we had lovely conversations and we had a nice time!

The cooking class was wonderful! Lara was so friendly and we felt really welcomed in their home. The cooking class was really interesting and we learned a lot. Kind regards, Franz and Elli
