Cooking Class on a Family Farm in Chianti with Lunch

About this experience

It is a cooking course where guests will be an active part of the course. Not a demonstration course but guests will literally get their hands on it! You learn simple recipes of our tradition, which can be easily recreated at home. The course takes place on my farm where I produce saffron oil, vegetables and raise chickens: the ingredients we will use are all very fresh, many of which are our own production. If time permits, we will take the course outdoors with a view of vineyards and olive trees and then eat what we have prepared in the open air, otherwise we will work in our barn. The farm stands on top of a hill in an oasis of peace and tranquility away from noise, cars and pollution. On request we can make a vegetarian menu.

   The cooking school will start around 10:30 in the morning, but not before we have gotten to know each other, talked a bit, and perhaps taken a short tour of the farm property where we can admire our olive grove and the field where I grow saffron. Then, together, we will learn to make homemade pasta, using our herbs from the garden and our extra virgin olive oil. We will also learn how to create different pasta shapes (tagliatelle, ravioli). I will teach you how to prepare the dough to make bread and Schiacciata and how to have many different recipes from this very versatile dough. We will prepare a complete menu including appetizers, first courses, second courses, side dishes and dessert and we will sip some good local wine, perhaps a nice Chianti from the area! Then after cooking if the weather permits... we will enjoy lunch outdoors in the garden overlooking the vineyards and olive trees immersed in the nature of Chianti... there is nothing more relaxing and satisfying than enjoying the peace and the tranquility that the Tuscan countryside can give us!! Our farm stands at the top of a hill surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and 360 degree woods, therefore an oasis of guaranteed relaxation!!
