WELCOME TO COOKING IN TUSCANY

Bolgheri – Castagneto Carducci, Toscana

Ciao, I’m Chicca. I have been teaching Italian cooking classes for over 20 years in our farmhouse located on The wine Road that leads to Bolgheri, known for some of the finest wines in the world.
I teach in-person cooking classes as well as online live cooking classes. We also offer a weeklong food & wine vacation and a variety of food & wine day tours in our unique medieval villages and stunning wineries.
Our property has two spacious apartments for rent where you can live your full experience in Tuscany.
If you like to cook authentic home food and traditional recipes in the Tuscan countryside, join me in my kitchen!

Hello!

I founded  Cooking in Tuscany, a culinary school and association that spreads the traditional-Italian and the typical-Tuscan cuisine in Italy and abroad. For over 20 years, I have cooked and shared authentic Italian recipes passed down in my family for generations with guests from all over the world. I believe in home cooking, in the power of fresh and good ingredients.
Two staples in my kitchen are my extra virgin olive oil, pressed from the olives that grow on my property, and fresh-cut herbs from the garden.
I love good food, good wine and one magic ingredient: GOOD COMPANY !
Join me in my kitchen to discover the true depth of one of the world’s richest culinary cultures.

 Bien sûr, je peux faire les cours en français !
 Le lezioni sono anche in italiano!
