Tuscan Cooking ! - It was well worth our time to understand how to properly cook Tuscan Cuisine. From the produce, timing and precise techniques in order to bring Tuscan dishes back home. Giacomo not only shared his passion for food and wine, but also the rich history behind. Grazie mille per averci insegnato

A truly authentic Tuscan learning experience - We had planned to wait until we got back home to write our review, but as time went on, we came to realize that our time with Giacomo was one of the best experiences we have ever had and couldn’t wait! Kind, proud of his heritage and eager to teach those who truly want to learn are a few descriptive words. We learned so many details from simple tips and tricks we never knew, to amazing family recipes that we will cherish and attempt to recreate once we are back home. The freshest and absolute best ingredients were shared and the meal we helped create was truly one of the best Is our lives. Gracie♥️

Great introduction to Tuscan cooking - This was a great introduction to Italian cooking. It covers not only the recipes but place a lot of emphasis on the technique of making the dishes. We also learned about the history of the dishes and local variations. Very informative and enjoyable.
