Highlights
  • Via dei Cofferi, 12 - The cooking school will start around 10:30 in the morning, but not before we have gotten to know each other, talked a bit, and perhaps taken a short tour of the farm property where we can admire our olive grove and the field where I grow saffron. Then, together, we will learn to make homemade pasta, using our herbs from the garden and our extra virgin olive oil. We will also learn how to create different pasta shapes (tagliatelle, ravioli). I will teach you how to prepare the dough to make bread and Schiacciata and how to have many different recipes from this very versatile dough.
    We will prepare a complete menu including appetizers, first courses, second courses, side dishes and dessert and we will sip some good local wine, perhaps a nice Chianti from the area!
    Then after cooking if the weather permits… we will enjoy lunch outdoors in the garden overlooking the vineyards and olive trees immersed in the nature of Chianti… there is nothing more relaxing and satisfying than enjoying the peace and the tranquility that the Tuscan countryside can give us!! Our farm stands at the top of a hill surrounded by vineyards, olive trees and 360 degree woods, therefore an oasis of guaranteed relaxation!!

Additional Information

This is an interactive cooking class where the participants are directly involved in the cooking process. It’s not just a demonstration, the attendees will get hands-on experience. The class focuses on straightforward traditional recipes that can be easily recreated at home. The class is held on my farm where I produce saffron oil, grow a variety of vegetables and raise chickens. The ingredients that we’ll be using are extremely fresh, most of which are produced on the farm. If the weather allows, the class will be held outdoors overlooking the beautiful vineyards and olive trees and we’ll dine al fresco on the dishes we’ve prepared. Otherwise, the class will be conducted in our barn. The farm, located at the top of a hill, is an idyllic escape from the noise, traffic and pollution. We also accommodate requests for vegetarian meals.

An Absolutely Perfect Day! - What an amazing day! First, the drive way up to Camilla's home is so beautiful. And then the view when you get there, just breathtaking! Then you meet Camilla, her husband and son and you know it's going to be a perfect day! We were so fortunate to have a great group - three friend couples from South Africa and one newlywed couple from England. Camilla is a wonderful cook and teacher! Her personality is perfect - taking care to ensure that everyone is having a great time but learning her skills at the same time. We learned how to make focaccia, tortellini and tagliatelle from scratch while overlooking the gorgeous hills of Tuscany. After a few hours of learning we sat down to a delicious meal using all of our noodles in Camilla's delicious red meat sauce made from tomatoes and herbs from her garden. Accompanied by delicious white wine that they make on their farm. Sitting around in their beautiful yard, surrounded by new friends, eating a delicious meal and drinking wonderful wine - it doesn't get any more perfect than that! I highly recommend taking this cooking class if you are visiting the Chianti region of Tuscany. It will be one of the highlights of your trip!

Wonderful experience, Scenic, Inviting, and Relaxing - The atmosphere was so inviting, personal, and relaxing. Camilla made us feel welcome into her home. The experience was very personal with an "at home" feeling. Lots of fun learning to make the dish and socializing with the rest of the group. Thanks so much Camilla.

Tuscan GEM! - This was a truly incredible experience - definitely the highlight of our Tuscany trip. Camilla and family make you feel right at home. Not only was it on a STUNNING property, but her teaching skills and the food itself was a 10/10. We bought Olive Oil from their shop which they make from the trees on their property and also got to visit the animals (goats, donkeys, chickens). I can't stop thinking about this experience. We were also grouped with 3 other lovely couples and got to know everyone over 4-6 hours (and that time goes fast!) Can't thank Camilla enough for this gift of an experience.

Best cooking class experience in Tuscany - Such a beautiful home and farm in the Tuscan countryside! Our hotel also offered a cooking class but we opted to go with this one because of the great reviews. It did not disappoint! Camilla and her family were great hosts to our cooking class that we shared with three other couples! We learned how to make various dishes from focaccia to pasta and even dessert! She was very detailed and also allowed us to try their wines! You even get to see their donkeys and cute little goats that are at the farm! 10/10 would recommend this cooking class! Thank you so much Camilla! We had a fabulous time!!

Best cooking experience in Tuscany! - The best experience if you are in Tuscany! Camilla is a great host and cook at a wonderful wine and olive farm with some great views. The outside cooking and eating is very nice and the food is amazing (and al local or self produced). Beside the cooking there is a lot of time to talk, relax, taking in the views and visit the farm animals. Or enjoy the delicious wine ofcourse. We were also lucky to do it with a fun group and we had the best time. Highly recommend it and you get everything that have you learned in a recipe book!
