“A dream of mine to have a cooking lesson in Tuscany came true. Our family of four were invited to Cristina's home for the lesson. The minute we arrived she made it clear her home was ours. The view from her patio in cortona was the best is ever seen. The group was so fun to work with and the food was amazing. Learned new unique recipes we can't wait to try. Cristina worked so hard to ensure we had a wonderful night and we did! Highly recommend this activity if you, like me, dream of a night of southern cooking in Tuscany.”

“Maria was lovely! She welcomed us into her home and showed us step by step how to make tagliatelle and ravioli using all fresh ingredients. We then cooked it in the kitchen too, ready to eat! She also took us on to the roof to take in the beautiful Tuscan hill views before we delved into our meal! We sat down to eat, along with extra dishes she had previously prepared and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and conversation with Maria! Very intimate and very authentic... a true Italian cooking class! Thank you.”
