I will never forget the fabulous week we had at Organic Tuscany. Shilpa and Ricardo were amazing hosts and everyone on their team, from the cooks to the tour guides, to the local artisans were approachable, knowledgeable and fun. It was a perfect mix of cooking and touring. I highly recommend the Organic Tuscany experience. Ann

Latest Update: I am open for classes and market tours in Bologna as of August 2020! I have been running classes since 1999 and I plan to continue. I have always only taken very small groups and given the Covid -19 crisis, I guarantee you will only shop and cook with your family or travelling companions, not with people you don't know. For market tours and market shopping, we'll avoid narrow and crowded streets and still shop at some top purveyors for Bologna's renowned gastronomic products and its superb quality fresh produce. In my well-ventilated open space apartment, social distancing is easy and I will have ample supplies of medical masks and sanitising gels on hand for you. If you can't get (back) to beautiful Bologna just yet, then as you'll see from my Tripadvisor reviews, I am offering on line classes, both group demo classes and private classes tailored to your requests. Email me to enquire about the possibilities, I'll be waiting to hear from you. Carmelita

I spent 10 days learning as much from Marcella as we could about Italian cooking, the history, techniques and recipes! She is so knowledgable, entertaining and a great teacher! The 10 days is not enough to cover even a 10th of Italian cuisine, but we covered more than expected. From pasta varieties, basic preparations, meats, fishes, vegetables and gnocchi! Highly recommended course, thank you Marcella! :-)

I have to admit, I feel like I am reviewing a close friend of our family. In October 2015 we were lucky enough to happen upon "Cooking Classes in Rome" and purchase the experience during our trip to Rome to celebrate my husband's grandmother's 80th birthday. We feel in love with the set up of the class, the history of Rome through its food that Chef Andrea explains to class participants, and especially, we fell in love with Chef Andrea and his passion for cooking and for traditional Roman culture. We spent the last four years, not only recommending the class to other friends and family members visiting Rome, but actually gifted this class to any one we knew traveling to Rome to celebrate a milestone event. Four years later we returned to Rome for a last minute trip before I was about to give birth to our first son. At 32 weeks pregnant, we couldn’t imagine a better way to experience Rome again but by experiencing another Chef Andrea class and enjoying all the food and Roman history his class has to offer. Once again he did not hesitate to impress. He contacted us ahead of time to ensure we knew that he was creating a special menu to ensure that I could eat everything he was serving. When we got to the cooking school, it was like being greeted by a dear old friend who we had known for years. Chef Andrea proceeded to ensure that we were spoiled throughout the cooking classes, making much of the class focused on the anticipation of our new family member. It was the sweetest gesture. I can confidently say that Chef Andrea feels like an extension of our family. We will continue to gift his cooking class to friends and family visiting Rome, and we are already planning to take our newest family member back to experience one of his classes as soon as he is old enough. In the meantime, we will continue to cook Chef Andrea’s recipes at home and keep growing this baby on the best Roman food. We are so thankful to have such great memories.

This Sicilian cooking class was really a highlight of our week in Sicily. Louisa and Marco are wonderful hosts and Louisa is a talented chef with a passion for fresh simple local food, while Marco shares his interest in wine with the guests. Just the right amount of chopping and instruction, some conducted in their delightful garden and then seated at a table on their beautiful terrace for a dinner party to enjoy the fruits of our labour.
10. ItaliAnna - Food & Wine Tours

A true and authentic personalized guided tour by a local focusing on food & wine. Piemonte is no Napa Valley, and sometimes it can be useful to have a translator on hand, someone to book tastings (hard to do walk-ins here), and of course drive you around these confusing Italian roads! I hope my enthusiasm and passion for wine will make your experience even more fun. Quindi dai...Andiamo!
