Escape to the hills for an intimate cooking experience in our authentic stone cottage
Private cooking experiences in the hills of Florence.
Enjoy handmade pasta, seasonal ingredients, and a truly personal atmosphere — just 20 minutes from the city.
There are no standard lessons here: we design the menu together, tailored specifically to your tastes, skills, and dietary needs. Every session is a bespoke culinary journey created just for you.
Our most exclusive experience, dedicated to the legends of Tuscany: Fire and Meat. This isn’t just a class; it’s a celebration of prime ingredients, bold flavors, and prestigious wines. We focus on the ritual of cooking over an open fire, the secrets behind the perfect Bistecca, and the pairing with world-class Super Tuscan bottles. Along the way, you’ll enjoy warm focaccia served as an aperitivo, handmade pappardelle al cinghiale, and a dessert to end on a sweet note. Bold flavors, high-end labels, and the primal magic of the 1800s cottage kitchen — pure indulgence for the true gourmet.
The complete Florentine experience. A 4-hour immersive journey where we prepare a full traditional 3-course menu, always tailored with the guest’s preferences in mind. The experience begins with sparkling wine and warm focaccia, freshly baked in front of you. We then move on to handmade pasta with its matching sauce, followed by a traditional Tuscan main course and a dessert to finish — all enjoyed with perfectly paired wines. This is for those who want to understand the balance of a true Italian meal — from the aperitivo to dessert — using smart, authentic techniques and recipes you will actually take home and use. One private group, one table, and memories that last a lifetime.
A focused 3-hour introduction to the Italian kitchen, perfect for absolute beginners and families with children, including very young ones. We skip the extras and go straight to the joy of making pasta or gnocchi with a seasonal Tuscan side dish, accompanied by sparkling wine and warm focaccia baked in front of you. It’s the ideal experience for those who want something relaxed, simple, and fun, with one bottle of wine for every four guests. Light, welcoming, and easy to enjoy at your own pace.
For those who wish to go beyond a single class, I offer intimate private experiences of 1 or 2 days, created with exceptional care and entirely tailored to you.
These exclusive culinary journeys are designed for guests who want something truly personal, immersive, and unforgettable. Every detail is shaped around your interests, your pace, and the kind of experience you would love to enjoy.
From handmade pasta and traditional Tuscan dishes to sauces, seasonal specialties, and a deeper discovery of Italian cooking, your experience can be fully customized to reflect your wishes.
