There was some confusion about where to meet. Just wait at the door even though it doesn't look like a cooking class.

Our cooking experience with Chef Elena was phenomenal! She picked us up in Cortona and drove us to her home a short distance away. She had the fresh ingredients sitting out when we arrived, and she walked us through the meal preparation step by step. We used her grandmother’s pasta machine, and we picked the fresh herbs from her garden. Our meal included bruschetta with fresh sausage and burrata, focaccia, hand-made pasta with tomato sauce, and tiramisu. Chef Elena picked a menu that we could duplicate at home and, while she provided directions, we actually did the preparation. All during the process, we enjoyed wine, some from her family’s vineyard. It was a wonderful, educational, and memorable experience!
