• Experiential gifts are more personal and memorable than traditional product gifts. Cooking classes are fun, unique, and meaningful!
• Gifting a class is a quick, easy way to share a single gift with a large number of people. No need to make multiple purchases or store multiple items.
• We do all of the prep for you! Just let us know a few details about your group, and we’ll get you set up. All that’s left to do is share an e-certificate (electronic or printed) with your people.
• Your gift recipients get to choose a class from the Cooking Club schedule based on their personal interest and availability.

Chicca has been teaching cooking classes from her home in Tuscany for over 20 years. Her online Cooking Club has received rave reviews from participants since its founding in 2020.

Unlike other online cooking classes, Chicca teaches live in English from her home kitchen in Tuscany. Interaction is facilitated by American co-hosts so participants’ questions are answered in real time as they cook alongside her.

All recipes are written by Chicca, sourced from her family heritage or regional Italian traditions. Class participants receive thorough preparation instructions by email, including shopping lists, tool recommendations, detailed written instructions, and reminder emails with the Zoom link.

Replay videos are provided to participants within 24 hours so if they miss the live class or have to leave early, they can replicate the full experience whenever it’s convenient.

Chicca has been featured in the The Guardian and Mediterranean Lifestyle Magazine.

Yes. Holiday gifts are valid for the one season only (December through March).

Your clients/audience would be able to use a special coupon to register for a class of their choice.

Once you purchase a gift, we’ll send you a PDF gift certificate that you’ll share directly with your gift recipients. This can be printed or distributed electronically by email to your contacts. The certificate will include the instructions they’ll need to sign themselves up for a class on our website.

After signing up for a class, your recipient will start receiving email communication from us.

If you prefer that we handle electronic distribution of your gift, we would be happy to handle emailing the e-gift to your list of contacts directly. You would just need to provide us with names, email addresses, and the date you wish to send the gift.

We’re confident that the experience we provide will delight class participants. When you gift a class, we’re able to connect with new people who might come back for future classes with Chicca. We typically offer our live classes at $37 per device. Since we’re already producing six classes per season, it doesn’t cost us to add additional participants, apart from the time to prepare your custom gift certificate. It’s truly a win-win-win.
