If you're considering a cooking class in Tuscany, stop looking and book this one. Cooking with Carlotta was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Italy and far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived at her home, it felt less like a class and more like being welcomed by an old friend. Carlotta has a warmth and generosity that immediately puts everyone at ease. What sets her apart is not only her skill as a cook, but also her gift as a teacher. She didn't just tell us what to do. She explained why things were done a certain way, sharing traditions, techniques, and the reasoning behind them. That extra level of knowledge made the experience so much richer. One of my favorite moments was walking into her garden to pick fresh sage that we later used in our meal. We also enjoyed sitting on her beautiful patio, sipping Prosecco and an aperitif while taking in the peaceful Tuscan surroundings. Every dish we prepared was absolutely delicious, and the entire experience felt authentic, personal, and unforgettable. We left not only with recipes, but with a deeper appreciation for Italian cooking and hospitality. I would enthusiastically take another class with Carlotta and recommend her to anyone visiting the area. If I could give more than five stars, I would. A+, 10 stars, highly recommended!
