cooking classes

Eat With Simonetta cooking classes are a full immersion in my lifestyle and values, a mix of food and culture, without forgetting practicality.
Discover with me the authentic vegetarian roots of the Italian and Tuscan cuisine and how to make dishes which you can easily reproduce at your home.  You will amaze yourselves by creating ravioli, fresh pasta, gnocchi, pizza!
I will teach you the simple but important tricks of everyday cooking, such as how to replace an ingredient you may not have, but what really counts is to have a passion for food…and some fresh herbs at hand.

ORGANIC, vegetarian cuisine

Tuscan cuisine is well known for its rich meaty dishes but historically its roots are vegetarian. Traditional dishes were made using cereals, vegetables and legumes. All the dishes we will make together are those of the traditional vegetarian Tuscan cuisine, such as pici, tagliatelle, cantucci biscuits, but also Renaissance dishes, such as “carabaccia”, taken to France by Caterina De Medici in the XVth century, and then arrived at popularity as the famous Soup à l’Oignon.
We will also prepare some dishes of Italian cooking, such as Pizza, Ricotta Cheese and Spinach Ravioli, potato Gnocchi and many more!
