How it works

***What i can do for you***

If you have rented your own villa for a relaxing holiday with friends and family, the last thing on your mind while unwinding by the pool is cooking. I can prepare and serve a gourmet Tuscan lunch and/or dinner of your choice. Or, perhaps a lazy picnic among the olive groves. You can always enjoy my cooking without leaving your property. If you are renting a property, the cupboards and fridge can also be stocked on your arrival to relieve you from the stress of having to find the nearest supermarket.
I will create the menu keeping in mind your likes and dislikes and of course any dietary requirement so that everybody will be able to enjoy the meal and relax. For the meal preparation, I will do the grocery shopping and on-site cooking for you and the final cleaning of the kitchen. If interested, I can also consult on wine selection.
Let’s discuss your choice of food from my menus and I will give you a cost estimate depending on the number of guests, menu choice and wine selections! Please send me an email at annamaria.cook@yahoo.it

Cooking Classes

Learn with me how to cook tuscan dishes

The best way to fully understand the Tuscan culture is to experience our food and wine simultaneously.
Let me guide you through the preparation of pastas, risottos, meat, or fresh fish, with in season vegetables and delicious cakes. It is possible to set up cooking classes up to 10 guests in your rented villa, home or other venues.
