What you'll do
During my cooking class, you will be able to immediately immerse yourself in a familiar and informal atmosphere, also thanks to the warm and welcoming ways of Mamma Nora.
Before you know it, you will find yourself with an apron around your neck and ready to be part of her kitchen!
After a welcome toast with a good glass of wine, we will begin our interactive cooking class. You will discover and learn the secrets of homemade pasta (Ravioli), how to prepare a good savory sauce (Butter and sage) to accompany it and make one of the most famous Italian desserts known all over the world : Tiramisu. Of course the menu can change according to guests's requests.
We will cook together using mainly our all organic products, starting from the eggs of my hens. we will use flours of ancient Tuscan grains and above all we will cook with seasonal vegetables as they did in the past. We will use the outdoor kitchen, under the country porch of my house that overlooks the garden. We will visit the garden to pick up some herbs, and for the brave ones, there will be a visit to our chicken coop!
Once finished working, we will set the table and we will finally enjoy our wonderfully prepared meals.
Other things to note
Please, bring a lot of joy! We will spend the day together so It is forbidden to be sad!
In summer, as we are in the country side, please wear long trousers and closed shoes... or bring mosquitos repellent cream.
Please, advise me in advance, if you have special requests or in case of intollerances

I am a food lover and a passionate cook. I have always enjoyed welcoming friends and guests at my big table.
I was raised on a farm, in the country side of Siena, where women were always in charge of the kitchen and knew how to prepare incredible meals.
It is mainly thanks to my family and my Mom that I fell in love with food and cooking became a great passion.
I had experiences in some restaurants in Siena and worked in an Hotel as chef for 2 years. I do prefer cooking with organic products, most of them coming from my garden...They taste so good!
Moreover, my granfather had a restaurant for about 20 years (it was 1969 when he opened it) nearby Siena. All my aunties are chef... I couldn't become a dancer!
That’s why today I have decided to share our traditions and old Tuscan recipes. Come, join us. Cook with Mamma Nora and m

We spent a wonderful day in Christiana's kitchen. From the first moment there was a family atmosphere. We learned a lot of knowledge and personal tricks that are not in any Cookbook. We are already looking forward to preparing the great pasta and the fine dessert at home. An experience that we will remember fondly.

We had a wonderful day cooking with Cristiana and Nora. Both women made us feel completely at home cooking in their kitchen. We learned so much about true Italian cooking and loved hearing their stories of cooking together as mother and daughter. Our time together will be a memory that we cherish for years to come! Highly recommend to any visitors to Tuscany. You will leave having made wonderful friendships, with a tummy full of delicious food, and feeling the warmth of local hospitality.
