The food of Tuscany, where simplicity, and frugality, is embraced when it comes to preparing delicious food for family and friends!
‘Tuscan cuisine is seasonal. Tuscan families would never dream of serving asparagus at Christtmas, because we believe that every vegetable that grows in Tuscany has been kissed by God: This is why we only eat vegetables when they are in season.’ (Alvaro Maccioni. 1998. Alvaro’s Mamma Toscana)
This seasonal menu is loaded with fresh vegetables, and the occasional hint of pancetta and prosciutto! The lasagne, just give me a spoon and stand aside! The cake, now this is a sneaky surprise – so few ingredients, and the taste a little surprising! The frittata, perfectt for any time of day. Really, all the dishes selected are just delicious!
Working together with others who attend on the day, you will make prepare a vibrant, delicious feast to share as we sit, relax, eat and chat to finish the session.

More Information:
I prefer not to call this a cooking class, but more of a hands-on cooking and knowledge sharing session, where those attending learn and share from my experience. I am not a trained chef, just taught and guided by my experiences, and driven by my love of cooking, sharing, and celebrating with food.
