Tuscan Women Cook

The School
Indulge yourself in the Tuscan lifestyle and discover the region's passion for food and wine. The best cooks in all of Tuscany, the local women, teach our classes. They'll share regional techniques, ingredients, and family recipes that have been passed down over the centuries.

Put on your apron, gather around the old farmhouse table, get wrist-deep in pasta dough and learn Tuscany cooking from the source. You'll learn first-hand how to make gnocchi, tagliatelli, and pici--thick strings of handmade eggless pasta made originally in the area of Montefollonico.

Morning classes include both hands-on cooking and demonstrations at local country homes, plus visits to food artisans, olive oil producers, local food markets, and food festivals. We will stop and buy the day's ricotta and Pecorino cheeses from local farmers. The classes are taught in Italian and are translated into English. Tuscan Women Cook is an insider's view of true Tuscan seasonal cuisine.

For lovers of Italian food, we offer a unique hands-on opportunity to participate in small groups as Tuscan women cook. The local women of Tuscany will share their techniques, special ingredients, and family recipes. Our cooking classes in Italy are ideal for cooks at all experience levels.
