Fantastic Tuscan Cooking Class - I cannot recommend the Tuscan Cooking Class with Katia and Fulvio enough. We had an absolutely amazing time - one of the major highlights of our trip to Tuscany! Fulvio was an excellent host and walked us through several Tuscan dishes. What we liked most about the experience was that he took the time to explain the "whys" behind what he was doing during every step of the prep and cooking process. In addition to being able to enjoy a fantastic lunch, this allowed us to take our new understanding of Tuscan cooking that we will be able to use in our kitchens at home.

Wonderful cooking class! - This cooking class was awesome! Katia is such a warm and gracious host. She was so welcoming and knowledgeable about Tuscan and Italian life and cooking. We had a great time making pasta and 2 different sauces with appetizers and we even got a cheese tasting class all accompanied by wonderful wines. I will definitely be making the food we made when I get home . She even sends you the recipes with extra recipes. I highly recommend this cooking class!

FUN, FUN TIME! - Three of us from our family had a fabulous time with Katia. She is warm, funny, easy to chat with, and has fantastic recipes. It was fun making the various dishes and even better eating them. What flavor! If I ever get back to that area, I will sign up again. I understand that Katia's uncle also teaches the class and have heard great things about him from a local driver. I highly recommend taking the class.

Amazing and delicious experience! - My friends and I took this class last week. I will only make brushetta and Pici the way Fulvio taught us. He was so kind, patient, hilarious, and accommodated my food allergies and preferences. I wish we had time to take more classes; but will definitely book again when I return to Tuscany. Take the class - you'll be glad you did.

Authentic Tuscan Experience - What a lovely experience! If you’re looking for an authentic Tuscan cooking experience, this is the one for you. Such a great way to spend a few hours in a Tuscan Countryside home. It was such an intimate and non-commercialised experience which made it so special. And doesn’t hurt to have delicious food and wine along with it! My friend and I learned so much and loved hearing origins, stories and backgrounds while cooking.
