Hi from Silvia!

"I love to host and take care of the table, I always try to create a mise en place with some ingredient that recalls the menu or seasonality. I prefer to cook dishes of land, typical of the Tuscan tradition, I do not try too much in desserts... but only not to eat too many!"

My husband and I spent a wonderful evening in Silvia's kitchen and had a personalized cooking class. We wanted to learn to make pasta and I had said 'no' to learning about gnocchi. Silvia asked why and said we always found gnocchi very tough. She taught us to make gnocchi that was so light, delicate, and flavorful we could hardly believe it. The pasta was also wonderful. This cooking class was the highlight of our two-week trip to Italy.

Wonderful experience and good food. Interesting opportunity to see a genuine Italian kitchen and the mrs cook in action 😊.

This cooking experience was top notch. Silvia shared her home and kitchen with us, making tiramisu and two pasta dishes. There were only 5 of us in the class so it was quite intimate and memorable. We made our pasta and dessert and consumed it with a choice of local wines. Thank you Silvia

We initially booked a cooking class in Pisa, and were informed there was a change in availability, which led us to our cooking experience with Silvia in Lucca. It was a pleasure to meet Silvia in her beautiful home. Silvia gave clear instructions that were easy to follow and the food was simple, in using ingredients that are commonly found in the kitchen, but turned out to be delicious. Her passion for cooking shines through when she speaks. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
