We went as a group of friends to a nearby farmhouse/agriturismo site for a lesson with Irene. We learned to make pici and ravioli as well as the sauce for the pici and filling for the ravioli. We had many questions, which she answered easily during the class as well as chatted with us. When it came time to cook the meal, we were dismissed to the dining room to await our dinner. As interested cooks we hung in the doorway of the kitchen and tried to ask more questions like how do you know when the thick Pici is done, as 7-9 mins is an estimate, but she didn’t really want to engage anymore. We asked a second time, as maybe she didn’t hear the question, but still no. We watched and gleaned what we could then sat down to eat a delicious, very large meal. This was a mostly good time, strange at the end though, why wouldn’t the cooking of the pasta be part of the lesson? And why didn’t she want to talk to us anymore? This was not the in home experience with Daniel that other reviewers raved about. It also did not include tiramisu which other reviews seemed to include. At the end of the day, I could make the pasta again at home, the main goal.

We learned a lot, made amazing pasta and really enjoyed the view on the beautiful agriturismo! The contact with the agency was also very clear and professional.

This was a highlight of our week in Tuscany. Daniel’s outgoing nature as host and chef created a fun atmosphere for our family of five adults, from the minute we pulled up after driving on gravel roads to get there. We learned a lot about tomatoes, sauces, garlic, pasta making, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, as well as sharing it with the other previously unknown people in the class. The host’s two lovable Boxers and beautiful setting were a bonus. I’d do it again in a minute.
