I am Francesca, born and raised in Tuscany, and living in my family's country home at the eastern edge of Chianti. I grew up with dishes of my grand grand mother, along with all of the flavors and traditions of all that is typically Tuscan. She taught me traditional recipes passed from generation to generation. I am passionate about genuine and seasonal food, I love conviviality and sharing my knowledge in kitchen . Cooking or eating at my home is a journey in our history, memories, a truly deep experience in our way of living. I just started a blog, www.the12.it, for saving heritage recipes and from last November I have been selected to be part of "Le Cesarine" Italy’s oldest network of home cooks. I am happy to welcome you to show "my" Tuscany.

Where you'll be
The cooking class experience is in my family home, in the countryside of Tuscany. They will have access to house, the olive grove and vineyards with view on the whole Valdarno valley. My home is in a central position between Siena Firenze and Arezzo.
Rated 5.0 out of 5 from 49 reviews.
My husband and I really enjoyed this Tuscan cooking class and getting to know Francesca. The class felt so authentic and we felt very welcome in her lovely home. Everything was really well organised and communication was really good before and during the class. We couldn’t recommend this class enough and can’t wait to try recreate the recipes we learnt.
You pick two recipes to make during the class but she also gives you so many more tips and pointers on many other recipes and styles of pasta etc.
Thanks again Francesca for a wonderful morning/afternoon!

Awesome cooking class in Francescas home
We had a fanastic. Cooking class in Francescas house. From the warm welcome till the end. At the beginning we got some antipasti. And then we started to cook to different dishes including making pasta from the beginning by hand. We felt like coming home and cook with the family. We could really really recommend this experience.

It's the best experience for my family. I did with my parents and parents-in-law and my baby&husband. we were big family, 7 people. she offered really good atmosphere and food. Also, she took care of my baby who is 1 year old. For all of my parents, it was first time to cook italian food and to eat real italian food. They are still talk about this cooking class. For them this experience is better than the Colosseum. Thanks for everything. If I go to Italy again, I surely go there and do it again. MISS YOU!!^^*
