一番良かったのは、ジャダさんの家に招かれて、彼女の家族について知ることができたことです。彼女はとても几帳面で、もてなし上手でした。積極的に手伝ってくれて、私の質問にもすべて答えてくれました。料理は美味しく、再現するのも簡単でした。
コルトーナにあるジャダの自宅で彼女と一緒に料理をした経験は、イタリア旅行の中でも本当に素晴らしい思い出の一つとなりました。
ジャダさんのパスタ、パンザネッラ、ティラミスの料理教室は、本当に素晴らしい体験でした!講義と実習のバランスが絶妙で、誰もが積極的に参加しながら学ぶことができました。実用的な調理技術もたくさん身につけることができ、きっとまた活用できると思います。子ども連れにも優しいクラスでした。ジャダさんはテンポよく進めてくれたので、大人も子どもも飽きることなく、焦ることなく楽しく学ぶことができました。会場の雰囲気も最高でした。夏に訪れたおかげで、何千本ものヒマワリが咲き誇る中、絵のように美しい景色の中で料理をすることができました。その後は、階下の素敵なダイニングスペースに集まり、みんなで作った料理を楽しみました。作った料理はどれも本当に美味しかったです。今回の旅行のハイライトの一つとなり、自宅でもこれらの料理を再現するのが楽しみです。本格的で楽しく、思い出に残るトスカーナ体験をお探しの方には、ぜひおすすめします!
Giada is a fantastic cook and was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Very Hands-On and we learned the skills to go home and make it again. The extra treat of the fried calzone dessert just topped off the day. We would most highly recommend you try this and the location is beautiful
Giada is a fantastic cook and a wonderful person to spend time with. We not only learn how to make the focaccia and pizza, but we learned a lot of other things about Italian cooking and recipes that she shared. One of the best experiences we've had on this trip and when we would do again
素敵な午後とランチに、パスタとシンプルなソースを2種類作りました。丁寧な指導のおかげで、地元の食材店で手に入る食材に関する素晴らしいヒントも得られ、慣れないキッチンでも友人たちのために美味しい料理を作ることができました。
We had a wonderful time cooking with Giada. She welcomed us into her home and shared her family’s recipes. The instructions were step-by-step, hands-on, and fun. Would recommend to all.
夫と一緒に行きましたが、本当に素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。ジャダさんは温かく、忍耐強く、すべてを分かりやすく説明してくれました。同じレシピでも味や材料を変えるバリエーションも教えてくれました。楽しく過ごせただけでなく、イタリア料理についてたくさんのことを学ぶことができました。この体験は最高で、心からお勧めします!
家族(19歳、13歳、6歳の娘たち)でパスタ料理教室に参加したのですが、みんな大喜びでした。本当に楽しかったので、また行く機会があればぜひ参加したいです。今回の旅行の一番の思い出になりました。それに、彼女は周辺地域についてとても親切に教えてくれました。
My fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class with Giada. We had many memorable experiences during our time in Italy; our cooking class/dinner with Giada was at the top of the list. We highly recommend!"
The location and house were beautiful with beautiful views. Giada and her husband could not have been nicer or more welcoming. We loved everything we made. We had 5 of us girls and she included all of us and made sure we each got turns helping and preparing the meal. The food turned out phenomenal. We had gorgeous views, endless laughs and fantastic and delicious food. What more could you ask for? "
During our holiday we took a cooking course with Giada. What a wonderful experience! We received a very hospitable welcome at Giada and her family's home. Very special to cook and eat together at someone's home. We have created delicious dishes with fresh ingredients. Giada was clear in her instructions and very helpful. We enjoyed the food together with Giada and Jacopo. Nice wine was served with dinner, and Jacobo made delicious coffee after dinner. We regularly make the recipes we learned from Giada at home. After the cooking course I had some questions about the flour that was used, Giada was very friendly and helpful. In short: a great experience, learning to cook delicious recipes and enjoying a delicious meal with an incredibly sweet, warm Italian family. Highly recommended!"

This class was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany! Giada welcomed us with warmth and made us feel right at home in her beautiful countryside kitchen. We learned how to make fresh pasta from scratch—kneading, rolling, and shaping it ourselves—and the Tiramisu was out of this world! Everything was hands-on, informative, and so much fun. The ingredients were fresh, the instructions were easy to follow, and the final meal was better than any restaurant. Highly recommend this experience for anyone who loves Italian food and wants a genuine taste of Tuscan hospitality!

ジャダとの夕食は最高でした。食事も素晴らしかったし、ジャダの自宅訪問もとても楽しかったです!
It was an incredible experience! Our whole family loved it! Giada was patient and fun to talk to. Highly recommend!!!
My friends and I had a wonderful time learning how to make bruschetta, pasta and tiramisu with Giada and her father. Their home was so warm and comfortable and the meal was delicious. We all agreed this was one of the best things to do while in Italy and we highly recommend it to anyone who wants a true Italian experience.
Unbelievable experience. Such a wonderful host and we had the opportunity to learn how to make bread and pizza. Returned to the US and last night we baked focaccia for the whole family with much success. Such a great experience and so friendly. We will be back again for sure. Next time Pasta. Huge thanks for our best afternoon in Italy.
We had a wonderful time! Giada is a great teacher! Thank you for a memorable experience!
Welcome to my world of Tuscan flavors!
Since childhood, I have been immersed in the rich culinary heritage of Tuscany, learning time-honored recipes and kitchen secrets passed down through generations of my family—especially from my beloved grandmothers. Those early memories, filled with the aroma of simmering sauces and the laughter around the kitchen table, sparked a lifelong passion for cooking and sharing good food.
In 2020, I transformed this passion into a mission: to open my kitchen and heart to others through hands-on cooking classes that offer more than just recipes—they provide a true taste of Tuscan life. Each class is an authentic journey into the soul of our region, where simplicity meets excellence, and fresh, local ingredients speak for themselves.
Whether you're kneading pasta dough by hand, mastering a rustic ribollita, or enjoying a glass of Chianti while preparing a traditional dessert, you'll not only learn techniques but also stories, history, and the joy of sharing a meal together.
Join me to discover the magic of Tuscany—through its food, its culture, and its warm hospitality. I can’t wait to welcome you into my kitchen and cook together!
