Cooking Lesson with Lunch

The cuisine has always represented and continues to represent one of the most important aspects of the Italian culture. Your holiday in Tuscany could be an ideal occasion to enter into hands on contact with this tradition, learning its secrets and experimenting for yourself.

We take you to a typical Tuscan house in the middle of the countryside. Here we work together to realise a selection of five courses, all typical Tuscan recipes. For example a menu could be as follows:

Crostini or Bruschetta
Spinach & Ricotta Tart
Home Made Pici Pasta with a homemade sauce of Pesto and Fresh Tomatoes
Saltimbocca & Caprese
Tiramisu

We have developed a number of menus and aim to give you as much choice as possible in this respect, dependant of course on seasonal availability of ingredients.

This is very much a practical experience in which we guide and instruct you but the knives, graters, mixers and various other instruments are in your hands along with the fresh seasonal ingredients and it is you that produces the wonderful menu that will be set on the table at the end of the lesson.

The preparation of these dishes is followed by a relaxed lunch. This is set on the veranda (weather permitting) where you can appreciate the various flavours whilst looking at the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

. . . and the wine, of course, will be already on the table. In this land of red wine a glass of Rosso di Montalcino is obligatory!
