This small-group cooking experience is different, and focuses entirely on vegetarian dishes so that you can learn how to cook tasty cuisine that’s entirely free of meat.

This cooking class was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Claudia and Bruno were warm and welcoming. From the beginning to end we felt like long lost friends. We used fresh herbs from the garden that we picked as we made our way around with Claudia explaining the different greens. We started with bruschetta made with the greens and herbs collected. Next was an appetiser made with fried artichokes, yummy. Our first course was spinach and ricotta ravioli. We made the pasta and the filling. It was supposed to be a vegetarian class but we made a meat dish. We pounded beef very thin added herbs and a small piece of prosciutto, rolled it up and cooked it in olive oil and red wine. The wine was made by Bruno with grapes grown on the property. As we cooked Bruno would sing an play his electric piano, very charming and unique. The lunch was superb with a dessert of sliced strawberries and fresh shortbread made by Claudia. The time went fast and before we knew it it was time to go. I drove there and my GPS was not very good at getting to the final destination, although it got us close. I recommend taking the train from Rome and Bruno will pick you up
