This was a great introduction to Italian cooking. It covers not only the recipes but place a lot of emphasis on the technique of making the dishes. We also learned about the history of the dishes and local variations. Very informative and enjoyable.

Hope all is well.
I wanted to say thank you for the great experience you and Christina gave us .
I came away with some great technques and a different way I think of cooking.
Now I am cooking meals around the fresh ingredients rather than picking a recipe and cooking it.

We had the most incredible time definitely the highlight of our vacation in a 9day trip we spent great time and amazing 5star meals in Tuscany but our meal with Giacomo was the best I would do this class again and again

Highlight of our trip! We learned so much about what makes a good dish special and excited to try and recreate what we had. If you want to really learn about Italian cooking this is a great class. Everything we made was delicious!

The class was very informative regarding organic cooking and eating well-which is exactly what I was looking for. The chef was perfection in all ways. Well done!!

We absolutely loved our morning with Giacomo and Cristiana. We enjoyed hearing about the history of their family, and the explanation of the methods of traditional Italian cooking, as well as being able to be fully hands on. Then to cap it all off with a lunch comprising all the fruits of our labours (along with some Giacomo flair to make it all totally delicious) accompanied by beautiful local Tuscan wine. We were there with our grown up daughter and her partner and we all had the best time, and lots of fun. Would totally and highly recommend.

Giacomo is a professional chef and instructor. We learned about Tuscan traditions and best way to prepare local dishes. His wife Cristiana was encouraging and cheerful. They made a great pair. Enjoyed the wine pairing when we ate what we cooked together
