Hi from Rossana!
I prefer simple dishes made with just a few wholesome, seasonal ingredients, often harvested directly from my own vegetable garden and orchard. I love to enhance the authentic flavors of the land using extra virgin olive oil that we produce ourselves.My cooking is rooted in traditional Tuscan cuisine, but I also enjoy experimenting: I create original recipes that I carefully jot down in my personal recipe book, built over time with love and passion.

- Great experience made extra special with two outstanding hosts. Made to feel very welcome, would highly recommend
- L'esperienza con Rossana è stata fantastica! Lei è una cuoca molto preparata, una bravissima insegnante, anche per i ragazzi (esperienza fatta con mia nipote di 13 anni che è stata entusiasta!), una persona ricca di passione per quello che fa e che trasmette in maniera egregia. La location è superlativa e la famiglia di Rossana anche! Un'esperienza assolutamente che ci sentiamo di consigliare a tutti i nostri amici che si possano trivare nelle zone! Peccato ci siano solo 5 stelline perchè Rossana ne merita 12!!!!
- The cooking class in Italy, which I received as a birthday gift, turned out to be one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. It took place right in Rossana’s home, where she warmly showed me how to prepare homemade pasta dough, different kinds of bruschetta, tiramisu, and shared her treasured family recipes. During the evening, her husband gave me a tour of their garden full of olive trees and fresh vegetables they use in their cooking. The day ended with a lovely shared dinner in a warm, family-like atmosphere – I truly felt like part of their home. Not only did I gain a lot of new knowledge and make my very first pasta from scratch, but I also experienced something deeply authentic – sharing, hospitality, the joy of food, and a beautiful exchange of cultures. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for more than just an ordinary cooking class.
- This was an amazing experience, Rosanna was so friendly, really knowledgeable about food and created a fantastic evening for us that we will always remember. The food, drinks, company and environment were first class. I could not recommend her highly enough.
- We had an amazing time for Rossana and her husband Alberto! They were incredibly kind, friendly, welcoming. We were in Italy for 3 weeks and this was definitely a top highlight. The food was incredible and they went above and beyond to make the experience amazing!!
