Tuscan Roots Cooking Class in Chianti: From Farmhouse to Table
Private classes from €285/person with prices varying based on group size
There’s a reason Tuscan cuisine speaks directly to the soul. It’s where golden olive oil meets crusty bread in bruschetta’s perfect crunch, where hand-rolled pici pasta carries the weight of generations in every bite, where simple ingredients transform into something extraordinary through patience and passion. This is cucina povera at its finest – the art of making humble ingredients sing with flavour.
In our sunlit 16th-century palazzo kitchen, we don’t just teach recipes – we pass down a way of life. As you knead silky pasta dough and simmer sauces that perfume the air with memories of Tuscan hillsides, you’ll discover:
• The sacred ritual of bruschetta – where olive oil quality matters more than fancy toppings
• Pasta that tells stories – like hand-twisted pici or stuffed tortelli with their hidden treasures
• Desserts that taste like nonna’s kitchen – think almond cantucci for dipping in vin santo
• Optional secondo secrets – master peposo beef stew or ribollita soup for the full experience
What makes this class special? Those magical moments weeks later when you’re back home, rolling out pasta on your own counter, closing your eyes as the scent of sage butter transports you straight back to our frescoed kitchen. That first bite – when your friends gasp “This tastes like Italy!” – is why we do this.
