A farmer’s and family cuisine, starting from the earth and iits fruits
There are many Tuscan cooking courses taught by skilled chefs, but I’m not a professional chef. I cook for my family, guests, and friends, and I’ve spent years cultivating the land and experimenting with traditional Tuscan recipes. Through this passion, I’ve gathered a rich collection of countryside cooking techniques and family recipes.
I invite you to cook with me, where I’ll introduce you to the key elements of Tuscan cuisine—extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs, legumes, and more—while sharing traditional preparation methods and our family’s beloved recipes. It’s a truly authentic Tuscan cooking experience.
Book one of our cooking experiences through the link, or contact us directly to find the perfect experience for you.
Fattoria San Donato is, for me, an ongoing adventure of family tradition, a beautiful place passed down through generations.
