Just finished an incredible cooking class and I couldn't wait to share my experience with all of you! If you're tired of the same old routine and looking to embark on a culinary adventure, this cooking class is an absolute game-changer! Forget about drinking classes and chasing likes on social media because this is all about discovering a new way of life. During this class, I not only learned how to prepare a mouthwatering five-course meal but also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of a healthy and locally grown lifestyle. The simplicity and complexity of the dishes blew me away, and I can confidently say that it was the best meal I had during my entire three-week visit to Italy! But here's the best part - I now have all the tools and knowledge to recreate this incredible meal at home. From selecting the freshest ingredients to mastering the art of wine pairing, this class has truly empowered me to continue my quest for culinary excellence. If you're ready to take your cooking skills to the next level and embark on a journey of flavor and discovery, I highly recommend giving this cooking class a try. Trust me, it's a life-changing experience that will leave you craving for more!

It was a wonderful experience. Giacomo is truly passionate about cooking authentic, local and fresh products, and he shared his passion with us. We learned hands-on how to make gnocchi and parpadelle from start to finish, tiramisu classic style, and the sauces and accompaniments. Throughout, Giacomo and Cristina shared their stories, helped us understand the science and principles behind the recipes, and answered our questions. At the tasting, Giacomo also paired every dish with a local Tuscan wine and explained the reasoning for it. Overall it was a great and rewarding morning, culminating in a delicious lunch. We would definitely come back, and recommend it. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes and an appetite.

We booked this excursion to learn how to cook some traditional Italian dishes, and it delivered! Giacomo & Cristiana were excellent hosts at their beautiful Tuscan property. We had a fun, hands-on experience making several dishes, including my all time favorite: gnocchi! From appetizers, courses, and dessert we covered everything, and Giacomo had amazing helpful cooking tips, advice on sourcing ingredients, and even details we never knew about how important temperature is in the preparation if the food, not just the cooking. This was a real treat and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon with friends. We highly recommend this experience!

My friends and I had an amazing time learning to cook some of the Italian food we had wanted to gain knowledge and understanding of! Giacomo showed us how simple, local ingredients could be showcased in beautiful Italian cooking, which we got to eat at the end of this experience! Anyone looking to learn to cook Italian food in this region should definitely reach out to this exceptional well taught and knowledgeable chef and teacher!

What a wonderful experience we will take with us and use (hopefully) for a long time. Chef Giacomo is a thoughtful and talented person with generational experience. He takes his craft seriously and explains every step of the process, including the ingredients and techniques. I loved that his wife Cristina and Maria took photos so we were not disrupted. My favorite food I had for the first time in my life was the pici. It was out of this world and made with simple ingredients. Lovely wine pairings and amazing dessert, wish I had more room for it, but I’ll come back next time and do it again. It was well worth it!

We had the best time cooking with Giacomo & Cristiana. They were very generous to welcome us into their beautiful home to teach us how to cook his grandmother’s delicious recipes. It was nice to meet them and also their lovely daughter- they all welcomed us and made us feel included into their family. Such an amazing experience and treasured memory. Also, the food was the best we have had along our travels. Armin & Lori
