I dabble with different types of fresh pasta : sfoglia bolognese,ravioli,tortellini,plin,tagliatelle,trofie,capunti,cavatelli,orecchiette,stuffed pappardelle,stuffed pasta roses,pici. I also cook several main courses such as peposo dell'Impruneta one of my many highlights, and then desserts (spooned and not only), I have a passion for the Christmas ones where the scent of cinnamon warms the heart! What about leavened goods then..who can resist the smell of freshly baked bread or a nice focaccia! My curiosity also drives me to other nations : spring rolls,beef or pork curry,sweet and sour sauce ,paella,churros,goulash..cooking is a gesture of love

Celebrating an anniversary in the Sienese hills precisely in Val d' Orcia unesco heritage site, in my terraced house reminiscent of a Tuscan farmhouse, wrapped in a warm atmosphere of home and family we will prepare a cake that was born between this valley and Val di Chiana. Sweet symbol of Chianciano Terme precisely called torta chianciano. Its short pastry exterior encloses several layers of sponge cake soaked with local almond amaretto liqueur and filled with custard. We will also make chocolate liqueur to accompany this delicious dessert.
