Mine is not a cooking class, but an invitation in mine at home and at the table with my family.
What makes this experience unique is the indissoluble bond with our land, here you will find organic ingredients such as Tuscan oil, honey from my country and wine from the family cellar.
I will guide you through the ancient art of "appicare", revealing my grandmother's secrets for perfect pici and dumplings. You will discover the Aglione della Val di Chiana, a rare local treasure that transforms a simple sauce into an explosion of taste.
As happens during the traditional Italian Sunday Lunch, we will relax with an authentic peasant appetizer: hot bruschetta, bird beans and our pecorino cheese. We will conclude with the ritual of cantucci and Vin Santo, between chatter and smiles.
If you are looking for the truest Tuscan hospitality, where the quality of the ingredients meets the warmth of a house that smells of grandmother's tradition, you are in the right place.
