The cookery course, for a minimum of 2 and maximum of 8 people, consists in practical and theoretical lessons which Gabriella Benci holds in the Castle kitchen. She teaches the preparation of traditional Tuscan dishes as well as recipes from other Italian regions which particularly complement Tuscan cuisine. She has also revived some delicious local recipes found in old Castle documents. Some had long been forgotten, but are always well received by our modern day students.
The course, in Italian, French or English runs from 9.30 to 13.30 or from 15.30 to 19.30.
Where possible, the dishes are prepared with our own organic produce such as oil, vinegar, onions, garlic, eggs, lettuce, cauliflower, cabbage and herbs which, depending on the time of year, we gather in the kitchen garden before starting the class.
The lesson is rounded off by tasting all the dishes we have prepared, accompanied by our own wine, in the elegant Liberty dining room in the Castle with the large dining table fully laid up in formal style.
All course participants receive copies of the recipes and an apron with the family crest on it.
