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 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.
I teach in-person cooking classes as well as online live cooking classes. We also offer a weeklong food & wine trip and a variety of food & wine day tours in our unique medieval villages and stunning wineries.
Our property La Casa Toscana 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 to discover the true depth of one of the world’s richest culinary cultures.
