Description
I'm Katia and me and my uncle Fulvio run the Tuscan cooking class in our family farmhouse. We are 4 km far from the fantastic town of San Gimignano and we teach you how to prepare a real Tuscany meal but most important we teach you how the food should taste. Your meal will be a celebration and a fantastic time to spent in a real Tuscany family. We'll make a lot of typical Tuscany antipasti, then we prepare primi piatti, and we make one type of pasta hand made, two different sauces for pasta, and then a second course with meat.

memorable experience
This experience was one of the highlights of our vacation. Katia was an engaging host that helped everyone feel comfortable. We had so much fun making a variety of food that we paired with local wines. Katia shared the recipes with us so we can make it back at home to share with friends and family too.

Tuscan Cooking Class, San Gimignano
It is no surprise that this cooking experience has nearly 500 FIVE STAR reviews! What a wonderful experience. Katia and Fulvio were very welcoming. We 2 couples were paired with Katia, and she was an amazing host, instructor and chef. The conversation with her was so easy, it felt like we were visiting an old friend. The food we prepared was delicious and filling! I cannot rate this highly enough. On top of all of the aforementioned, it’s a lovely location in one of the prettiest areas of Tuscany- the stunning area surrounding San Gimignano! Enjoy!

Best food I've ever eaten.
Best cooking class ever. Some of the best good I have ever eaten, with one of the nicest, most intersting poeple I have ever met. It was completley worth the price. We were there for abotu 2 hours, 1h30 cooking, and 30 minutes eating. Cute atmosphere in the hills of Tuscany, and felt very welcoming. We had the class to ourselves, and were a group of 5. The man we cooked with, Fluvio, was a very nice man, fluent english, amazing cook and very helpful.

Perfecto!
This was “perfecto!!” My grandkids and I love to cook. We learned new techniques while having a blast with our host. We would recommend this class to anyone of any age and any experience. Please come see us in New York! Mary Gibbons

Home cooked Italian pasta 🍝
We came to celebrate our daughter’s 21st Birthday and she requested a cooking lesson in Tuscan region. I wanted something authentic and near San Gimigano. Katia was very sweet and very educational m. We cooked two types of pasta with great conversations. She was very knowledgeable and made us feel so welcoming. Her uncle was also very kind man. The wholes experience was magical the food amazing true Italian cousins. I would recommend this experience for anyone that enjoys those moments of cooking along with laughters and great conversations. We shall return to visit Katia and her uncle. Thank you both from the Torres family from Miami. ❤️
