What To Expect

Join our Tuscan cooking class in Siena. The school was the first in Siena, founded in 1996. The lessons will be held by Francesco, the owner of the cooking school, that has always been a passionate lover of traditional tuscan family recipes, coupled with only the healthiest and most authentic local ingredients. Francesco teaches how to prepare a full Tuscan menù from starter to dessert including a fresh home-made pasta. The menu is not always the same, but every time we prepare 5 recipes, find an example below. Of course we can choose between various starters, soups, fresh pastas, like, ravioli, gnocchi and pici, with related condiments. For example, there can be a main course of meat with side dishes. Desserts can be typical from Tuscany, or typical of other Italian regions.  At the end of each lesson, the meal is served with the food prepared during the lesson, together with a ¼ per person of excellent Tuscan IGT wine. The group lessons are in ENGLISH On request and only for private lessons, we can offer other languages (french, german, spanish, japanese, chinese, russian). During the booking procedure, please leave your cellphone number for any quick communication.

    My family really enjoyed this. It was the highlight of our trip. It was so very well run/organized with multiple courses (soup, pasta, meat dish, dessert, and wine) we helped prepare. Every dish we created was one of the most delicious things ever. We (hopefully) can recreate when we return to the states! We met some nice people and shared a meal!

  • One of the Best Four Hours Spent in Siena!

    Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed our time with Francesco and Julie as we prepared a wonderful 4 course meal. We made the pasta by hand from start to finish and helped prep parts of all the other dishes. We learned a lot about food prep and cooking - especially how to take simple ingredients and turn them into amazing dishes. We met another group of four and enjoyed their company and family stories also. Sign up now! You won’t regret it!

  • Fun activity!

    This was a fun activity and we learned a lot about Tuscan cooking. Francesco was very good at answering all our questions and sharing his techniques. We prepared four delicious courses (soup, pasta and the sauce for it, meat and potatoes, and dessert) with three other couples who had signed up for the same class. Lots of good conversation over our meal, and everyone had a different “favorite dish”. Would definitely recommend!!

  • Wonderful experience!...

    We loved every minute and have been talking about it our whole trip. So kind and knowledgeable and patient! We are good cooks but this upped our game. Well worth the time and money. A great capper to a day Siena!

    My husband and I had the best time cooking lunch. We have a couple of dietary restrictions and they accommodated all of them. We have been to cooking classes before but this one was more technical than others. We would love to go back!

    This was a wonderful cooking class, and one of our best meals in Italy, even though we helped make it! We can't wait to make the recipes again at home.
