Pienza: Tuscan Cooking Class with Buffet Breakfast at Farm – Tuscany, Italy

EXPERIENCE

Podere Spedalone offers cooking lessons to learn the secrets of Tuscan cuisine with the traditions handed down by our parents and our grandparents, using the products of our farm, as well as those of nearby farms.

Everything is handmade, including all pasta, bread and desserts.
Our restaurant is farm-to-table, which means our ingredients are locally sourced and seasonally fresh. Fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits are used from our organic garden. You’re guaranteed home-grown flavors that are true to the season.

First, have one of the best buffet breakfasts Pienza has to offer, with a buffet of local Pecorino di Pienza, Locally made cured meats (Salumi), Eggs, Vegetables from our garden, yogurts, fresh baked cakes and pastry items, coffee, juice, etc! Once you are refreshed and ready to work…

The lesson consists of creating typical Tuscan recipes, accompanied by our Chef who will guide you in their creation
We start with making 2 kinds of pasta, typical from the area, with traditional recipes and all made by hand! The famous Tagliatelle or Pappardelle are then made with the same hand-rolled pasta, which will be seasoned with a delicious tomato or meat sauce.

Finally, the secrets of Cantucci -italian cookies- will be taught, the dessert par excellence that satisfies young and old.

All the skills taught and recipes are easily recreated at home!!!

The cooking lesson has a duration of about 2.5 and following the lesson, lunch of the preparations made are served at the table either outside when the weather is appropriate. Overlooking the picturesque val d’Orcia Or in our historical dining room!!
