5.00Our family enjoyed an evening with Barbara, learning to prepare pasta and tiramisu in her lovely home. She made us feel very welcome and shared stories about the recipes, ingredients and some of her history which made it very special. It was a wonderful thing to do as a family and a memory that stands out in an epic vacation. When I asked my daughter’s what their favorite meal was during our time in Rome, Florence, Montepulciano and Cinque Terre, they didn’t hesitate, the dishes we prepared with Barbara! It is worth noting, we ate at several Michelin star restaurants over our 10 days trek in Italy. I am sure it was a combination of the experience, the time together, the excellent ingredients and the instruction but I can honestly say that eating our meal that we prepared was amazing! (Thank you Barbara) I will be attempting to make the pasta for friends later in the year and the recipes will be carried forward as my daughters will make the tiramisu their own. I have purchased a Moka for the tiramisu and general use and am in the process of breaking it in. It was great to chat with Barbara on this as I love coffee and espresso and to see her precision, passion and expertise in the “small details” of food and coffee preparation was quite impressive and made all the difference. If you are in the area and want an experience that you will talk about for years to come, I would highly recommend this trip. Not only did we learn something new, we met a new friend and had great family time in a special place. Thank you again. Val

5.00This was an exceedingly wonderful class. The setting was a beautiful rural Agriturismo. I was the only student and the teacher, Andrea, was thorough and fun. He was helpful and encouraging. My partner came along but didn't take the class, but enjoyed the rewards of the lunch that we had made. Highly recommend.

5.00What a great experience! Barbara & her assistant kept everyone on task, making homemade pasta, chopping vegetables, whipping meringue for tiramisu! After bringing it all together the group of 10 sat down to enjoy our efforts, along with more than a few bottles of wine. A delightful afternoon.
Wonderful cooking class experience!

5.00This experience was way above our expectations. We joined our host Barbara in her lovely home where she was waiting for us with a prepped kitchen and a smile. She was a great teacher and provided us with lots of hands on time preparing the two pastas and tiramisu. We had a wonderful meal from our cooking paired with a delicious bottle of wine.
The Best Tuscan Experience!

5.00I don’t know why people in the reviews are saying they couldn’t find the location. Communication was clear and we found the location with zero issues. This was by far the best experience we had in Tuscany. The food we made was delicious, and the views were incredible. Our chef/teacher (Andreas) was so nice and made the experience even more memorable. I can’t recommend this enough.
Delicious!
