A highlight of our trip - We loved meeting Barbara and learning to cook traditional and local Italian dishes in her beautiful home. Barbara is a wonderful teacher and made us feel so comfortable with her warmth and hospitality. The pastas turned out absolutely delicious - we were so proud of ourselves! The tiramisu was also the best we have had on our Italian trip so far (a big call but one we’re sticking by!) Definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary if you’re in Tuscany :)

Now I know!! Loved every second! - Barbara was an exceptional teacher and host! We learned to make pici and gnocchi, as well as, tiramisu. Simple, fresh and delicious. Unlike anything I've ever had before. I can't wait to make these dishes at home. Now that I know the techniques and reasons behind them, I'm ready! Grazie mille Barbara (& assistant). I will treasure this experience.

Best Cooking Experience Ever - We are in Tuscany for two weeks and our cooking class today has been my favorite experience ever! We were invited into our host’s home where we learned to make pici pasta with veggie sauce, gnocchi with butter/gorgonzola sauce, and tiramisu. Everything was delicious and I feel confident we will be able to recreate these dishes at home. Thank you. Barbara!

Great cooking class experience. - Barbara was an amazing host and chef. She made my husband and I, and one other couple feel right a home in her lovely, well stocked kitchen. The class was fun and we learned so much about using the right ingredients to make the best pastas and tiramisu. After enjoying our lunch of homemade pasta, tiramisu and wine, we sat around the table and Barbara shared stories of life and culture in Montepulciano. It was great!

Strongly recommend - great fun - Our class with Barbara was so enjoyable. She is very professional, a skilled cook and has a wonderful warm and friendly personality. Her English is also excellent. The class was a highlight of our holiday in Italy, even for me who is by no means an accomplished cook. The food we cooked was delicious and we can’t wait to cook it at home!

Great samll group cooking experience in a local kitchen - We met in Barbara's kitchen, and with her fun and knowledgeable guidance we made Petti pasta, Goncchi, and Tiramisu. We truly appreciate Barbara opening her kitchen to our small group and encouraging us to make food we have not made before. This was one of the highlights of our trip and we definitely recommend this activity!
