We were warmly welcomed into Cosetta’s home before a fantastic cooking class and shared meal with great conversation. Cosetta was a skilled cook and patient teacher, generously sharing her family ravioli recipe. This was by far the best experience on our Tuscan trip and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience and a love of good food.
