Cooking in Tuscany


Cooking in Tuscany
Learn cooking in Tuscany from the source -- the local women using recipes and techniques passed down over the generations, cooking with what they find fresh each day at the market and in the garden. Indulge yourself in the cooking in Tuscany and discover the region's passion for food and wine.

The best cooks in all of cooking in Tuscany, the local women, teach our classes. They'll share regional techniques, ingredients, and family recipes that have been passed down over the centuries.

Cooking in Tuscany provides you with the perfect way in which to learn to cook wonderful Tuscan cuisine, whilst at the same time enjoying the beautiful countryside and historic sites of the region. We run a series of award winning Tuscany cooking schools throughout the year at the splendid Casa Ombuto or the magnificent Torre del Tartufo, both old recently restored large Tuscan villas set in wonderfully tranquil hills of the Casentino valley some 50km south of Florence. Both Casa Ombuto and Torre del Tartufo provide as beautiful and peaceful a setting as anyone could wish for from any Tuscany, Italy cooking schools.

We are proud to tell you that our cooking schools in Tuscany have recently been rated by The Observer newspaper as one of the "Top ten cookery schools in Europe". Our Tuscany cooking schools are suitable for everyone from novice to aspiring experts. As Wendy Geoghegan of The Observer Food Monthly says of our cooking schools in Tuscany, "Cooking in Tuscany on a cooking vacation suits those who are keen to learn Italian cuisine with little experience to those established cooks looking to broaden their tastes and techniques."

Cooking in Tuscany
We believe that cooking in Tuscany at one of our wonderful villas offers a real hands-on learning experience, and so our comprehensive course is designed to teach you to make splendid 4 course Italian dinners covering all the basic Italian cooking techniques, from pasta to pastries and everything in between. Each course has its own charm, let Paola teach you her passion of the Traditional Tuscan cuisine at Casa Ombuto or let Franco Palandra show you what wonderful things you can make with truffles from Torre del Tartufo as the estate of this villa includes 2 hectares of Truffle land. Our Tuscany cooking schools run from Saturday to Saturday in Casa Ombuto and Sunday to Sunday in Torre del Tartufo and include immersive hands on lessons as well as plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful setting. You will also enjoy a visit to a local vineyard for wine tasting and to a producer of Olive oil.
