Three friends who all consider ourselves good cooks all learned new skills, and unlearned things we’ve done badly for many years. Chef Giorgia is an inspiration, instilling an appreciation for the culture, climate, and history of Tuscany and Tuscan cuisine. We made pasta, a rich sauce, a lovely panzanella salad, and the best-ever tiramisu (I tried tiramisu almost every day all over Italy for 4 weeks at different venues...ours was best). All this was accomplished while munching on Tuscan bread cubes dipped in flavorful herbed olive oil, and sipping wine from the local Cesani vineyard. The views from their charming farmhouse include the gorgeous agricultural countryside (olive groves and vineyards galore) as well as the walled, many-towered hilltop town of San Gimignano. Giorgia is knowledgable, helpful, fun, and became a friend the moment we met. You can’t have a better time anywhere.
