My guests and I cook in my own 500 year old kitchen and cooking with me is like cooking with a friend. It is a totally hand-on programme where my guests and I create a full, authentic Italian meal we will eat all together in our dining room by the fireplace.

​

We focus on a selection of Italian main recipes: puff pastry and pate brisée, all sorts of homemade pasta, risotto, bread, focaccia, quiche, and cakes.

​

I like and use strictly 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, soft and rich butter, coarse salt, Maldon salt, organic lemons from Amalfi, my own aromatic herbs: rosemary, sage, thyme, bay leaves, mint, parsley, basil.

​

In our two hour hands-on cookery classes, we make entrées or focaccia and bread, top notch tagliatelle from scratch or garganelli or spaghetti, a sauce and a dessert.

​

We all work in my kitchen using wood boards, ceramic knives, chopping boards, each guest receives an apron and a rolling pin and our worktops accommodate max. 6 people to work together.

​

I only use locally sourced ingredients, all spices and aromatic herbs come from my own garden, fruit and vegetables from our friends' orchard or from the farmers' market.

Contact me for cooking classes of 1 day or within a 1 week stay at Villa San Pietro B&B. Not only cooking classes, but also luncheons or dinners, wine tasting in our wine room and personal guided tours are available all throughout the year.
