Fun for friends and family - Don’t arrive hungry because you really do prepare food for about three hours before dinner is ready to eat, but this experience is spectacular! Francesco, the chef was very informative and also entertaining. The only other couple booked that night was a no show, so we had a private lesson. It was great fun for my husband & I, our son and his new wife, and our oldest friends, who have been married for 45 years the same as us! The 4 courses we prepared were delicious, and wine was included with dinner! Don’t hesitate to book this activity. It will be one of your favorite memories from Siena!

Fun Cooking in Siena - We enjoyed the experience. The local chef and the English-speaking instructor were very informative and a joy to be around. We had a lot of fun learning about local Sienese cuisine with other travelers from the UK and North America and dining with them afterward. The food tasted wonderful. Highly recommend the experience if one wants to learn more about the local foods.

An absolute must - cooking lessons, Tuscan style. - Both Francesco and Julia were absolutely wonderful to learn from. Although I speak Italian fluently, it was not a necessity. The recipes were written out and easy to follow. They used simple ingredients that could easily be found once we return to the states, fortunately. I highly recommend this event. Preparing the food was interesting which culminated in eating the food we prepared. Everything tasted delicious! We also enjoyed chatting with our fellow classmates from Australia.

Fantastic cooking experience - This fun, informative class was a trip highlight. We had excellent instructors who showed us how to make Tuscan soup, pick with h an easy and delicious sauce, meat w/shallots, and almond Christmas cookies. Recipes are easy enough to make at home, with simple ingredients. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

Chef should change it up, not sell poor Tuscan foods to ignorant Americans - Tomatoes were canned resulting in acid reflux, ingredients not fresh as expected in Italy, wine was poor quality
