A Truly Unforgettable Experience – Highly Recommended!
During our visit to Siena, my husband, our three young children, and I had the absolute pleasure of joining a cooking class at La Scuola della Cucina Siena—and what a fantastic experience it was!
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the incredible duo, Chef Francesco and the lovely Julie. Their passion, energy, and seamless teamwork set the tone for an unforgettable afternoon. Together, we prepared a mouthwatering three-course Tuscan meal followed by a delicious dessert, all with our hands actively involved in the process. They explained each step of the recipes with patience and clarity, making the entire experience both educational and fun for us and the kids.
We cooked up a delicious Zuppa Toscana, hand made fresh pasta with a rich Tuscan tomato sauce, tender meat paired with the creamiest mashed potatoes, and finished with homemade Cantuccini that were simply divine.
The cooking itself was such fun—but the best part was sitting down together to enjoy everything we had made. Every bite was bursting with flavour, and the joy of sharing it as a family made it all the more special.
A huge thank you to Francesco and Julie for making us feel so welcome and for giving us such a memorable experience. You both are doing an amazing job—keep it up! This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Siena.
