Since 2020, Chicca’s Cooking Club has welcomed home cooks from around the world into my kitchen in Bolgheri, Tuscany. We meet live online, cooking together from our own kitchens and sharing the simple good food.
For more than 20 years, I’ve been teaching in-person cooking classes here in my Tuscan kitchen, and I still do. When I decided to bring my classes online as well, I never imagined how much the club would grow. We were among the pioneers on the web, sharing Italian recipes in English, live from Tuscany. Little by little, a joyful, global community of passionate home cooks came together.
Over time, I’ve taught more than 100 live cooking classes on Zoom, all of which are now available to members in an ever-growing video recipe library that expands every season.
Italian cuisine, recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage, is my constant inspiration. I was born and raised in Italy, and in my classes I share traditional recipes, seasonal flavors, and authentic home cooking I grew up with. For me, cooking is my way of sharing a little piece of my Italian culture with you.
These live classes are part of Chicca’s Cooking Club and are now offered à la carte, so you can join just one class or choose a few favorites. Each class is a complete experience: we cook together live, I answer your questions in real time, and you leave with a recipe you’ll confidently make again for your loved ones. You’ll also receive lifetime access to the replay, so you can cook again anytime.
