Hi from Lunia!
"The passion for cooking and the pleasure of sharing the table with friends have always accompanied me. I live in the hills, immersed in the green of the Tuscan countryside. I like to cook any type of dish, with a predilection for the typical recipes of Lucca that remind me of my childhood; due to some food intolerances of my husband, I became an ace in the preparation of gluten-free dishes."
My specialities

- Bellissima esperienza, mi sono trovata benissimo e ho mangiato molto bene. Disponibile,brava nello spiegare e soprattutto molto accogliente. Sicuramente un esperienza da ripetere ,con Lunia.
- We had the best time with Lunia! Her home is beautiful and her class even better. It was a privilege to learn from such a lovely person and the day we spent with Lunia is amongst our favourite days throughout the entire trip. If you are wondering whether or not to book - do it! Thank you again Lunia.
- We had a fantastic evening with our hostess and family. Would highly recommend this to anyone. We were entertained seeing how an Italian family lives and cooks delicious meals. So much fun helping to prepare our meal. Would definitely go back for another treat. Very gracious hostess and so accommodating. Thank you! Lenny and Janie DeFelice
- Our family had the most wonderful time with Lunia and her family cooking dinner together, learning her family recipes and eating together with her family. It was everything we wanted in the experience. She did a great job of incorporating my two children (2 yr, 6 yr) in to the cooking making for a very hands on experience. Her cooking space was open and inviting and very clean. The food was amazing as well. This event is highly worth the time and money. The only thing I would point out for other travelers, Lunia lives in a village atop a mountain with quite narrow roads leading to it. If you have a larger vehicle, it is difficult to access.
- My daughter and I had a wonderful day with Lunia. She met us at the train station in Lucca and took us on a small tour of some of the specialty shops in Lucca where she purchased bread and meats for our aperitivo. We then went to her lovely farmhouse in the Tuscan hills where we spent the next few hours learning how to make an authentic aperitivo, raviolis and tiramisu. Lunia was a wonderful hostess and chef. She welcomed us into her home where her son, Michael, was present and helped with some interpretations but, overall, communication was quite easy. We started the meal with some sparkling wine while helping to roll out pasta and construct the tiramisu. We really enjoyed meeting Lunia and her son, our cooking lesson, and, of course, the delicious meal!! Thank you, Lunia !
