We had an amazing and yummy evening at Monica and Paolos home. It was one of the highlights of our trip! We cooked in Monicas outdoor kitchen, and learned so much about using different kinds of flour, how to source best organic ingredients, and of course how to make the pasta and tiramisu. Monica goes beyond teaching what is described, it feels like cooking and eating with family in the family home! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience ❤️

This is a wonderful activity to experience in Italy. Our host Tamara was adorable. She did a great job of hosting us, she was very organized and gave us a complete experience including apertivo, dessert and hands on pasta making with wine and limoncello along with hand written recipes to take home. We enjoyed this whole experience right in her Tuscan home and garden. It was a Beautiful evening.

This was lots of fun. A very authentic experience learning to cook with Sylvia in her own apartment and cooking with fresh ingredients. The food was delicious and the wine was great too. Sylvia also have us some great tips on local places to eat.
