Stefania’s underlying convictions is that food reveals a lot about the land from whence it comes, and vice versa. You cannot really understand one without the other. That is why she likes to start her classes with a visit to local food markets and butchers, private green gardens and artisan shops; followed by a hands-on cooking lesson that guides you through the preparation of an entire meal from antipasto to dolce, and ends around an elegantly decorated table, enjoying the lovely meal you’ve just created.

Personal attention, spontaneity and improvisation are important ingredients in Stefania’s kitchen; these are the basic elements bringing pleasure to cooking together. Therefore we keep the classes small. Menus are inspired by the season, the markets and what you’d like to prepare.

One day courses are available, as well as two and three-day courses, tailored to your wishes.

Our Cooking Studio in Tuscany is located in Montefioralle, one of the oldest and best-kept medieval villages in Chianti. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, exactly half way between Florence and Siena, the area is noted for its beauty and history, as well as for its good wine and good food. We do offer an accomodation too.
