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!"

- 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.
- Fantastic, informative, fun class. We learned so much, made delicious food and enjoyed everyone (Silvia and the other students)
- What a treat! Fabulous night with Sylvie and fellow participants! Sylvie welcomed us into her beautiful home and showed us, expertly, how to make some classic dishes. Fantastic experience and can't recommend Sylvie enough!!
- Sylvia was wonderful. Warm and welcoming into her home. Teaching us her family recipe of gnocchi, tiramisu and explaining the best way to make real ragu. I highly recommend her and this experience in Lucca.
- Silvia was wonderful! She was gracious, warm and welcoming. She was so passionate about Italian food and tradition. Her directions were clear and she allowed everyone an opportunity to participate in preparing food. By the time we sat down to eat what we had made, it felt like a family meal! Molto bene! Grazie mille, Silvia!
