Tuscan cooking class near Florence Welcome to my Tuscan home-kitchen on a beautiful hill south of Florence, to prepare a delicious Italian home-cooked meal with the freshest local ingredients. Book your cooking class My love for cooking undoubtedly comes from my Italian grandmother, Leontina. I can still remember the uncomparable smell of her ragù simmering slowly in the kitchen early in the morning. I also remember the countless hours I spent with her in her kitchen, rolling tiny polpette al parmigiano for her famous tomato minestrone. My love for cooking and feed the people I love also comes from my mother. In our house, hardly a week went by without inviting people for lunch or dinner. Each time, I would see my mother spent hours cooking, and set up the most beautiful tables to greet our guests. After years or sharing recipes on the blog and social media, it all seemed quite natural for me to start inviting you to my house, so that we can cook together.
