Courses are hands-on under the guidance of professional Italian chef, Valter Roman, and also feature guest chefs from around the world including Alvaro Maccioni of La Famiglia restaurant in London. Alvaro is a passionate advocate of using fresh, seasonal produce and traditional methods of cooking. He believes that 'if a chef cooks like his mother, he is a great chef. If he cooks like his grandmother, he is even greater!' Valter believes cooking is not just a matter of weights and measures and following a recipe but of feeling and instinct and hands-on experience.
Experience Tuscany the Italian way. Discover a little piece of Tuscan heaven and savour the very best in Tuscan living gathered together in our kitchen and around our table.
Alvaro and Valter’s taste of Tuscany is a special blend of only the finest ingredients in life. Together in the kitchen you will learn to be experimental yet not lose sight of the true Tuscan flavours and disciplines in cooking. You will be encouraged to explore the tastes and textures of some of the finest and freshest ingredients on an inspiring culinary journey in and out of the kitchen and you will discover, recognise and start to understand the true soul of Italian cooking and how Italian food really should taste. |
