Join us on a week-long organic
cooking class in Tuscany
We'll visit local organic farms, learn to cook flavoursome, healthy food using the freshest local seasonal ingredients, and savour the results together, washed down with delicious biodynamic wine. Buon appetito!
At Organic Tuscany we take you to see the farms where we buy many of our ingredients.
You eat at one of the farm restaurants. At another, you can buy wonderful artisanal cheeses, pasta and olive oil to take home.
In our hands-on cooking classes, we transform
this fresh, local produce into traditional Tuscan and
Italian
recipes: fresh
pastas,
hearty salads, the perfect
risotto and
delectable
Italian desserts.
Some of the
cooking
courses are fully vegetarian and all the others can easily be made vegetarian
friendly.
A cooking school and much more
The cooking school is located between Florence and Siena: one of the most beautiful landscapes in Italy.
As well as seeing stunning countryside, we explore the medieval cities in the area, and investigate the regional culinary traditions of great food and wine through meals and tastings.
On your free evenings, you can choose whether to investigate the great
local trattorie, or stay at home on the farm and relax with a good
Chianti, fabulous local tomatoes and delicious local organic cheeses.
Cooking courses which
explore local traditions
The accommodation will be on a gorgeous, lovingly restored farm which has
6 hectares of olive groves and vineyards. Some of the rooms we will
occupy will be frescoed rooms in the elegant manor house, others in
a charming cottage next to the ancient oil press. The cooking classes
will take place on site, in a spacious, sunny ground floor kitchen
in what used to be the wine-making cellar.
The farm has been recently and
lovingly restored. Five full years of sustainable conservation work
recovered unique architectural features and discovered and restored frescoes.
Electricity and heat are generated using renewable sources.
Outside, you can enjoy the charming gardens and beautiful natural swimming
pool, or walk down to the estate's olive groves.
Tuscany: what better place to relax, soak up Italian culture and learn
to cook some authentically delicious dishes?!
One-day classes
For those of you who will be in the area and would like
to have a little taste of Organic Tuscany, we offer
one-day
cooking classes from our instructors' delightful villa home
in the Chianti region. This makes an ideal day-trip from
Florence or Siena.
