Cooking Class for Family of 10 ( ages 14-80) - Our family of 10 (ages 14-80) had the most amazing evening with Fulvio and Katia. It was truly a highlight of our visit to Tuscany. We learned many recipes and cooking tips. They were simply delightful. They also accommodated those in our party who were gluten free. We all laughed, learned and made many wonderful memories. The food we made was incredible . The next day, Fulvio sent us numerous recipes. Book with confidence. You will not be disappointed. It is an excellent way to spend a few hours in Tuscany.

An afternoon we will remember for a long time - We visited Il Vicario together with a group of friends and had a wonderful afternoon together. Our teacher Katja was pedagogical, committed, nice and energetic and had answers to all our questions. ☺️ It felt like we were at their home in their kitchen cooking and eating food. Highly recommended!

I’d do this again! - We booked a coking class with Katia and it was warm and welcoming as it was held in a Tuscan farmhouse in the outskirts of San Giminiano. The views from the kitchen were of the Tuscan countryside with its rolling hills overlooking vineyards and countless olive trees. Along with my wife and our son we handmade Pici as well as a few other Tuscan dishes together. A cooking is always fun but the best part is eating delicious local dishes. Katia is obviously passionate about cooking and it shows in her class.

If you want a very... - If you want a very personal experience with this, Cooking Class, sign up! I was with my sister, my two daughters and my mom, and we were the only ones at the Cooking Class, which made for a very special experience. You felt like you were in someone’s home and they were just teaching you how true Italians make their meals. It was not overcomplicated – just simple, delicious dishes that you could easily make it home! Highly recommend!!
