Kitchen has always been the fulcrum of this home, where my family is living since more than 7 generations. I have always been fascinated by my grandmother's ability to prepare awesome dishes from Tuscan tradition, always with few, simple but precious ingredients. That cultural heritage was in danger of disappearing: I spent a lot of time cooking with her, trying to learn her recipes and secrets. In the end, I realized that she had given me a bigger gift: I had assimilated her cooking philosophy! Then, I realized that tradition is not a dusty book but a living thing able also to adapt to new conditions, and even improve. I studied ingredient's seasonality, their sustainable production systems, new cooking techniques, techniques of tasting: almost without realizing it, in the meantime, I became Chef and finally, also Sommelier. Since a lot of years, I decided to share this path: a long path that is not yet finished... Giacomo

Great class!

This was the best class ever! We learned delicious family recipes and had some of the most tasty food of the trip. Giacamo was informative and passionate and it was a pleasure getting to learn from him. The class was small and felt very intentional with each step. I am still dreaming about the tiramisu we had for dessert, the best ever! Taking this class was a highlight of our trip and I would definitely recommend anyone to do it.

The Most Fun Cooking class! Had the BEST time!

This cooking class was so fun. I recommend this to everyone. You wont be disappointed. And the wine pairing with each course was amazing. Didn’t like Tiramisu before class but no my husband and I love it. Thank you Giacomo and his Beautiful wife Cristiana.

Thank you for these kind words! Winning over a tiramisù doubter is one of the small joys of our mornings, and we're glad the wines at the table matched the dishes so well for you and your husband. We hope the dessert keeps its place in your kitchen at home. 🙏 Giacomo & Cristiana

The Perfect Taste of Tuscany: Cooking, Wine & Memories 🇮🇹🍷

One of the absolute highlights of our time in Tuscany! This cooking class and wine pairing was everything we hoped an authentic Tuscan experience would be. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely immersed in the experience. Learning to prepare traditional Tuscan dishes was so much fun, but what made it truly special was learning about the ingredients, techniques, and traditions behind the food. Nothing felt rushed or overly touristy. It felt genuine, relaxed, and very Tuscan...read more

Thank you for taking the time to write all this, and for such kind words. Your description is just how we hope every guest will remember the morning: a few traditional dishes learned in a family kitchen, plenty of laughter along the way, and then a meal shared with the pasta you made and the wines picked for it. That table, with new friends around it, is where the whole morning is meant to arrive. The home, the humour and the love for the food all exist to get you there. It was a joy to have you, and you would be very welcome back anytime. Giacomo

Fantastic experience, not to be missed

We had a fantastic time at our cooking class with Giacomo and Cristina. Giacomo has such a great passion and knowledge about food - how important it is to use the best quality ingredients possible and how every little detail matters when you want to prepare the perfect dish. We would highly recommend one of his classes and we may go back for the big menu 😋

Thank you both! You've noticed something I care about deeply: a perfect dish is built from small things, and not one of them can be skipped. It was a pleasure to share them with you in our home. If you do come back for the 5 Course Menu, there are plenty more waiting for you. 🙏 Giacomo & Cristiana

Wonderful Tuscan experience

This cooking class was a highlight of our trip - we so enjoyed learning about the intricacies of making pasta and Tiramisu - it is a true art! Chef Giacomo is also a sommelier so we were able to enjoy the best wines with each dish - perfecto! This will be one of our favorite memories of Tuscany!!

Grazie, Sherry! Pasta and tiramisù really do ask for the same kind of care — get the technique right and it looks effortless, get it wrong and you'll know it. Choosing the wines to go with what you'd just made is one of my favourite parts of the class, so I'm really glad it hit the mark 🍷🍝. Having your morning here become one of your favourite Tuscany memories is exactly why I do this! 🙏 Giacomo Giacomo
