Montisi

The School
The cooking class has been run successfully for several years, in the kitchen of the restaurant La Romita. The kitchen was recently remodeled, creating a slightly larger space with all new equipment. The chef is Giovanna Bindi, the cook for the restaurant and wife of the owner Alberto. They have for twenty or so years created their own specialised Tuscan menus based on interesting "new" combinations of tastes and textures, using Renaissance recipes as a starting point.

There is not a formal daily routine of cooking classes that you might join. However, Alberto will set up a class for a minimum of two and maximum of five (kitchen size) subject to his other commitments. The hands-on classes are held in the afternoon starting at 3.00 p.m. and ending at about 6.30 p.m. After the class there is a break, during which you might wander round the village of Montisi before joining other diners at the bar for an aperitivo. The "menu degustazione" is included in the cost of the classes, and dinner is served at 8.00 pm sharp!
