Ciao da Cristina!

Cristina ci dà il benvenuto nella sua casa all’interno di una limonaia, circondata dal verde, nel vecchio Borgo di Pian dei Giullari, vicino all’antica dimora di Galileo Galilei. La nostra Cesarina, con passione e dedizione, si prende cura dell’orto e del giardino, rispettando i cicli biologici della natura, utilizzando solo frutta e verdura di stagione. Fin da piccola ha sempre valorizzato la bellezza in tavola, seguendo il consiglio della mamma: “si mangia anche con gli occhi!” Nel tempo ha imparato a conoscere e rispettare gli ingredienti e le materie prime: veri e propri attori protagonisti dei suoi piatti, che prepara con passione e fantasia.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking experience with Christina and her husband, Paolo. It was a highlight of our entire Italian vacation! Prior to booking, I did quite a bit of research to find the perfect cooking class for us – we were bringing our 6 month old baby so we were looking for a private class that also showcased the quintessential Tuscan countryside. Our evening was absolutely perfect – the views and ambiance were divine, the hosts were incredibly hospitable and fun (!), and the food was so delicious and fresh! Christina started us with some bruschetta featuring tomatoes she grew. Then we prepped the tiramisu and she taught us the way the Italians make it so light and airy (unlike the versions I've had in the States). After that, we made lightly battered squash blossoms (so simple but so tasty!) to enjoy on the patio. Paolo picked sage from the garden to make a sage and almond pesto, and Christina showed my husband and I how to make then prepare the pasta for cooking. We could not have asked for a better evening, and we highly recommend this experience!

We were curious about the class by all the previous reviewers. We now understand their enthusiasm and positive feedback about Cristina‘s class. We were mesmerized as we entered her beautiful garden and very tasteful home. She is really passionate about Italian cuisine and her passion really gets to you. As her husband, Paolo, arrived, he helped in the background and joined and entertained us during the dinner made with the ravioli we had learned to prepare from scratch. It was the perfect venue and evening and we would love to go back for another class with Cristina. It’s the best gift to couples, who love to cook together 😊

Cristina and Paolo were extremely welcoming and friendly. We learnt a lot and they were very accommodating to what we wanted to cook. Would definitely recommend them!

We absolutely loved our cooking class with Cristina. She and her lovely niece Francesca welcomed us into her gorgeous home overlooking the Tuscan countryside and shared her delicious recipes. What a fun night, lots of laughs and good conversation while learning new skills. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence. We chose to walk there, and taxi back, which was spectacular and also meant we arrived with a healthy appetite! Thank you very much Cristina and Francesca!
