What You’ll Experience

Step into the heart of Tuscany with Giada, a passionate home chef eager to share the authentic flavors of traditional Italian cuisine, lovingly passed down from her grandmothers. Set in her charming farmhouse nestled in the hills of Cortona, each class begins with a welcome aperitif and a short stroll around the property to take in the breathtaking views. In your 1.5 hour hands-on cooking class in Cortona, join Giada in her cozy home kitchen to cook two traditional dishes from scratch. Whether it's fresh handmade pasta or fragrant pizza and focaccia and beloved Tuscan desserts like tiramisu or crunchy cantucci, Giada guides you through each step with clarity, and expert tips. You can also learn to make fresh tomato or pesto sauce during the pasta class. However for ragu sauce, Giada kindly asks for advance notice, as it is typically pre-cooked and not prepared during the cooking class. Giada will share stories while revealing secrets and little tricks to cook an authentic Italian meal. Every class is a journey through regional recipes, a passionate tale of local ingredients and the techniques that turn each dish into an unforgettable experience.
