Exciting news: Chicca’s Cooking Club membership registration is now open for Season 13! Join me online for six new live cooking classes, as we share a joyful time together learning about Italian cuisine.
Learn more here: https://cookingintuscany.cc/club/
From December through March, on Saturdays, we’ll cook together via Zoom, discovering new Italian recipes. I’ll be streaming live from my farmhouse kitchen in Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast. You can ask me questions in real time.
Each class features a new recipe from my Italian heritage. I’ll teach you how to use the best seasonal ingredients and simple techniques passed down in my family. It’s the perfect season to be in the kitchen, creating delicious dishes while it’s cold outside. When you become a member, you’ll connect with Chicca’s Cooking Club members, a global community that loves food and values togetherness. It will be a truly enriching and delicious experience!
