Chianciano - Lesson with Chef Luciano

It was the high point of our trip. We had a great time, the food was excellent the staff was excellent. It was a perfect day!! Lauren B., MA

We loved the class. The chef was wonderful and our translater, Marta did a great job and was very knowledgable about the techniques, recipes, background of Tuscany cooking too. We prepared a special meal and I liked that the recipes were not so involved that it would be intimidating to make them at home. Having the cookbook with all the recipes plus more dishes than we made was very nice. Loved the certificate that we were each given too. We took lots of pictures and would definitely do it again.

I thought it was great-- start to finish. Chef Luciano's personality-- warmth, enthusiasm, etc. made our class very enjoyable. I thought the organization of our time was well thought out-- moving us forward through different dishes, making good use of the necessary cooking time by taking us on a tour of the winery. If I would change anything it might be to include in the beginning some intro to how italians approach cooking -- and something about the significance of each of the dishes e.g. pici is traditional in the tuscan region (or not?), families would eat it ...., etc. Otherwise, great experience and one I would highly recommend to friends.

The class with Chef Luciano and translator Marta was one of the high points of our trip. They are both wonderful, friendly people, and Luciano is obviously passionate about authentic Tuscan food. We learned a lot, enjoyed ourselves, and had a great lunch as well! It was something I will always remember and I will use what we learned at home. Marianne L., WA

Chef Luciano was so passionate and enthusiastic about what he did. He really made the class fun. We laughed a lot but learned a lot as well. The recipes were easy to follow; things I could easily do at home. It was a great bonding experience for my friends and I. I will continue to recommend The International Kitchen programs to my clients. Rosanne C., IL
