Cooking classes in the villa

 Pruneta di Sopra gives you the opportunity to learn the secrets of italian cuisine directly in the villa, a nice experience to have fun and to surprise your friends and relatives once you’re back to home. Your teacher of italian cuisine will be Alessandra , not a professional cook , but a woman with a big passion for cooking. Lessons will last for about 3-4 hours but they won’t be boring demonstrations, they will imply your active involvement : you’ll join the dinner preparation, trying to make hand made pasta, cakes etc…

Alessandra will explain not only how to prepare good italian foods but also tuscan cooking traditions and lifestyle. You will bring tuscan flavors and tastes back to your home and this will allow you to share the recipes you learnt with anyone you love or just to remember your holiday in Tuscany.

Usually, Alessandra will leave the villa with all the courses prepared in order to let you taste your meal with tranquillity and privacy.
