가장 좋았던 점은 지아다의 집에 초대받아 그녀의 가족에 대해 알게 된 것이었어요. 그녀는 모든 것을 잘 정리하고 친절하게 대해주셨어요. 직접 요리도 해주시고 제 질문에도 모두 답해주셨어요. 음식도 맛있었고 따라 하기 쉬웠어요.
코르토나에 있는 지아다의 집에서 함께 요리했던 경험은 우리 이탈리아 여행의 진정한 하이라이트 중 하나였습니다.
지아다 선생님의 파스타, 판자넬라, 티라미수 쿠킹 클래스는 정말 멋진 경험이었어요! 설명과 직접 요리하는 시간이 완벽하게 조화를 이루어 모두가 적극적으로 참여하며 배울 수 있었죠. 실용적인 주방 기술도 다양하게 배울 수 있어서 앞으로도 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것 같아요. 아이들도 함께 즐길 수 있는 좋은 분위기였어요. 지아다 선생님은 수업 진행 속도를 적절하게 조절해 어른과 아이 모두에게 흥미를 유발하면서도 시간에 쫓기는 느낌이 전혀 들지 않도록 해주셨어요. 수업 장소도 정말 아름다웠어요. 마침 여름에 방문해서 만개한 해바라기에 둘러싸여 그림 같은 풍경 속에서 요리할 수 있었답니다. 수업 후에는 아래층에 있는 아늑한 식사 공간에 모여 함께 만든 음식을 맛있게 먹었어요. 모든 음식이 정말 맛있었답니다. 이번 여행의 하이라이트 중 하나였고, 집에서도 이 요리들을 다시 만들어 볼 생각에 벌써부터 설레요. 진정성 있고 재미있고 기억에 남는 토스카나 경험을 원하시는 분들께 강력 추천합니다!
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
파스타와 간단한 소스 두 가지를 만들며 즐거운 오후와 점심 시간을 보냈습니다. 세심한 설명 덕분에 친구들을 위해 멋진 요리를 만들 수 있었고, 낯선 주방에서 요리하는 동안 지역 식료품점에서 구할 수 있는 좋은 재료에 대한 팁도 얻을 수 있었습니다.
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.
남편과 함께 갔는데 정말 즐거운 시간을 보냈어요. 지아다는 친절하고 인내심이 많았으며 모든 것을 명확하게 설명해 주었고, 같은 레시피라도 맛과 재료를 바꿔서 요리하는 방법까지 알려주었어요. 덕분에 이탈리아 요리에 대해 많은 것을 배우고 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다. 정말 좋은 경험이었고 강력 추천합니다!
저희 가족(19세, 13세, 6세 딸)과 함께 파스타 요리 수업을 들었는데 모두 너무 좋아했어요. 정말 재밌었고 다음에 또 가게 되면 꼭 다시 하고 싶어요. 이번 여행의 하이라이트였어요. 그리고 강사님께서 지역 정보도 많이 알려주셨어요.
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!

지아다와 함께한 저녁 시간은 정말 즐거웠습니다. 식사도 훌륭했고, 지아다의 집을 방문한 것도 너무 좋았습니다!
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!
