Review of a Tuscan farmhouse cooking class from Florence, with a market tour, handmade pasta, four-course lunch, Chianti, and recipes.
“Booked this a few days before my trip & I was so excited. My expectations were far exceeded. I took my mom to Italy for our first time for her 60th birthday trip. She’s a little slow at walking so when Luca says a five minute walk it might’ve taken her a little longer, but he was an absolute pleasure and kept us all laughing. I feel honored to have met him and Erika.

We drank wine, chatted with the others at our table and basked in the glory of the meal we created! So tasty and so much fun!!
