Dear Victor and family, Thanks so much for your kind words. It was a great challenge for us to assist you to select the right house, being disabled on a wheel chair, without losing any of the Tuscan sceneries or atmosphere. On top of great fun of cooking together, you could also enjoy the garden and the swimming pool. Thanks... More

My family spent four wonderful hours with Mauro and Tze'ela. The kids had fun making pasta from scratch, my wife and I enjoyed making sauces and salads, and everyone's favorite part was getting to eat it all for lunch! Wonderful food, wonderful time, wonderful people. Highly recommended! More

I had a wonderful experience with my friends on the cooking day with Mauro & Tze’ela. The day was really fun and informative and of course at the end of the cooking we got to sample our wonderful dishes! They were very through, helpful and i didn't realise cooking could also be such fun whilst you are learning. I would... More

Was a perfect day, with fantastic hosts/teachers. My husband was most jealous that he could not join us! The keepsake cookbook we received... More

A taste of real Italian life and new skills to take a bit of Italy home. Just wish I could be sitting in the Tuscan hills when eating homemade pasta everytime. Great atmosphere in an amazing setting making a memorable experience. More

Even for our picky six grandchildren, who ate everything from the pate' to... More

We toured Italy with three generations of our family. This experience was a favorite among not only the grandparents but down to teenagers as well. Hands on cooking was fun and relaxing in a wonderful Tuscan Villa. We were atop a mountain and as a great finale to the day, all dined alfresco at a beautifully set table overlooking a... More
