トスカーナ料理教室 - 伝統的な 5 コース メニュー

Giacomo is a chef and sommelier, as well as an organic farmer with vineyards and olive trees. He is passionate about food and sharing his knowledge of cooking, stressing the importance of high quality ingredients. He shared traditional recipes from his grandmother and researched authentic Tuscan recipes. No cooking expertise is required, but an experienced chef would benefit from the fine points of his technique. We spent 3.5 hours cooking and then 1.5 hours eating food we prepared or watched him prepare. The choice of wine pairings for each course was explained during the meal. So no wine during the class, only coffee was offered. Our family enjoyed his passion and knowledge. The food was delicious. His wife shared with us the pictures taken during the class. Definitely wear comfort shoes. Definitely a worthy experience!

An unforgettable experience! I learned so much about how to properly cook beautiful Italian dishes. Chef Giacomo shared and taught his grandmother’s recipes and techniques. He really cared about making sure we understood and prepared our dishes correctly. We then got to enjoy our 5 course dinner with wines expertly selected to pair with each. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Giacomo and his wife Christiana provide an awesome cooking and eating experience. Had a wonderful time making and eating our dinner. Giacomo explains and demonstrates techniques excellently describing balance and importance of ingredients. I learned a number of new techniques that I will surely use. One of the best cooking experiences I had, I highly recommend it.

It’s been about a week since my husband and I took Giacomo cooking class and we talked about it everyday since! Giacomo taught us all about the importance of the ingredients you are cooking with and how that truly makes the dish. We have already started using the knowledge Giacomo gave us to find the right ingredients to make the gnocchi that we can’t stop thinking about! Aside from that the kindness and care that is shown from Giacomo and his wife Christina makes you feel like family. They even take pictures of you so you can have those as memories but don’t have to worry about it yourself! If you are looking for a cooking class in Montepulciano this is the one.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Giacomo. His knowledge and passion for quality ingredients are evident, yet he shares it in a wonderfully approachable way. His wife Cristiana, who runs the class alongside him, was equally lovely. We especially enjoyed hearing stories about his grandmother's cooking traditions and how he has brought them into modern technique. The kitchen and cooking areas were impeccably clean and the class was exceptionally well run and professional. One thing to note: the class is long, with about 3–3.5 hours of standing before you sit down to eat. Be sure to have lunch beforehand, as the dinner portion doesn't come until the final hour or so!

Had a excellent time, very informative.

Overall it was a pleasant, clean and organized experience. However, it lacked warmth and charm, it was too technical and formal. Not very hospitable, we thought we would prepare one dish and enjoy while sipping the wine, we had to stand, listen, watch, and prepare only a small potion of the food. After 5 hours everything was done, felt rushed out. Only 3 in attendance and we all had the same conclusion Definitely a disappointment and overpriced.

We had a wonderful time with Giacomo! We joined him for a class during our honeymoon and enjoyed every minute. The food was incredible! He taught us so many tips and tricks about Italian cooking, and the importance of quality ingredients! Him and his wife were very welcoming and generous! We highly recommend booking a cooking class with Giacomo!

This is a very informative and comprehensive class. It is very well organized and you will leave being able to prepare these dishes at home. The food was delicious and the wine pairings superb. The setting is so beautiful and we enjoyed every minute of the experience.

I couldn’t recommend this cooking class enough! Giacomo and his wife Cristiana were so friendly and welcomed us into their home with open arms. Giacomo is a magnificent chef and sommelier - the food he produced (and taught us to produce) was exceptional and the meal we enjoyed at the end was only made better by the superb wine pairings. I can honestly say this is the best meal I have ever had. Giacomo helped guide us through the preparation of the dishes with expertise and shared the wisdom his grandmother had passed on, as well as his learnings along the way. Please do not let this experience pass you by - you won’t regret it!
