Reviews Search reviews Simon Cope 5/5 a minute ago on Google The three of us booked the full day experience with Chef Federico and his staff and his wife, Louise. This was an investment in time (over 5+ hours + driving there and back added an additional 2 hours to the overall timeline). Therefore we wanted to make the most of the day. We wanted to both learn new cooking techniques, but also learn greater depth of "why do you ___" and also have an incredible meal (assuming we followed Federico's instructions... "Yes, Chef ????‍????!") We were not disappointed in anyway. Warmly greeted we were welcomed onto the property and Louise quickly made a connection with us. Introducing us to Chef Federico and his kitchen-hand, Ruby, we quickly learnt that Chef is funny, very knowledgeable and a great teacher. Chef would show us a technique and we mimicked, encouraging and guiding we found ourselves competently making three different pastas with three different ???? yummy sauces with antipasto course and served a refreshing seasonal dessert to cleanse our palate. The red and white wine provided from beginning to end was excellent ????. We learnt numerous tips and hints that our really great foodie and cook (adult) daughter didn't know. Overall the entire day we left as friends as well as happy (and blissfully full) customers. Highly recommend you visit here over potentially other closer or maybe 'cheaper' cooking classes in the greater Umbria region as we have experienced others before... and this experience exceeded our wildest expectations.

My friend and I - both pretty serious home cooks & gardeners - learned so much from this experience. Chef Alessandri was an excellent teacher: personable and entertaining, with a wry sense of humor and a breadth of knowledge and experience. The preparations he led us through were delicious and pure, while the techniques respected and brought the best out of the ingredients. We are coming home with valuable skills that we will use in our own kitchens. The Casale was so beautiful; I really hope we can return as guests of the manor one day. Louise and the staff were so kind and generous. It's inspiring to see people driven by what they love to do and bringing it off in such style. This cooking class is highly recommended, especially if you already have some facility in the kitchen and want to up your game.

Had 1 :1 class eir6h Chef Federico. Learned a lot about the techniques of sauce, fresh pasta, and gnocchi. Excellent teacher. Class was in English, but I understand a lot of Italian. Highly recommend the venue abdt the class in a beautiful setting.
