Just spent a month in Cortona and had three cooking classes with Chef Ale. Different groups of friends each time and different menus.
The classes were the highlight of everyone’s trip! Homemade pasta, delicious sauces, yummy desserts. Add in fun, laughter, Italian history and stories from Ale and you have a treasured memory.

This is our second time with Alessandra and we had as much fun as we did the first time a few years back. We met in Cortona and discussed our wishes for the meal and any dietary limitations and then we did the shopping. We returned to her well stocked and airconditioned kitchen in a rural hamlet outside Cortona and started prepping, cooking and then eating. Lots of great conversation, laughs and learning experiences.

Alessandra is awesome! She is more than just an excellent cook and teacher of cooking Italian cuisine. She is a joy to be around....funny and hospitable. The food is insanely good! My wife and daughters took the class with her and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was lucky one that swooped in and got to eat all the awesome food! Lol. I can't wait to get back home to America and eat these recipes ALL THE TIME!!!!

Our cooking day with Alessandra was the highlight of our trip to Tuscany. She and her family are gracious hosts who provided a genuine cultural experience. She is a gentle teacher who meets students at their level. We cooked, laughed and came to know some of the real Italy. Please don’t miss the chance to book with her, if you come to Cortona. Actually, a day with Alessandra is reason enough to visit the area.

Alessandra created a spectacular meal for us in our vacation rental. First she chatted with us to get a idea of what to make, giving us a little lesson about Italian cooking. Then she crafted a dinner with each course using unique, locally sourced ingredients. It was all delicious and Alessandra was charming and informative.

We truly enjoyed Alessandra and her private chef cooking skills for our last night in Italy. It was very relaxing and great to talk with her, hear her stories, and learn about the differences in food based on the different regions.
The food was absolutely fantastic. We had a delicious handmade pasta, a pork roast with artichokes and red pepper sauce, and for dessert we had a scrumptious warm lava cake with strawberries, fresh whip cream, and citrus powder that she made. It was all so fresh and everything was very complementing.
After we ate, they cleaned up everything and made sure the kitchen was left in better shape then when she and her assistant arrived. We laughed, talked, and had the best last night in Italy.

Our family spent a fantastic whole day with Alessandra, learning the Italian way of cooking. Unlike following recipes from a cook book or watching TV cooking shows, this day was about Alessandra sharing her cooking experience, personal stories, explaining the practices of Italian Tuscan cooking and giving us tips that I will implement in my kitchen. The day started with a guided visit to the local butcher and produce shopping from local providers. From there we moved to Alessandra cosy house to start our cooking adventure and ended the day enjoying wine and our own made dinner. We prepared linguini from scratch with white ragu (basically no tomato, carrots or red ingredient are included…but can be added per the cook imagination); roast beef with a reduced red wine sauce; Sauté seasonal artichoke and a crostata with Alessandra home made marmalade. Delicious! Highly recommended for those who love the art of cooking!

Amazing day spent with Alessandra learning about Tuscan/Italy cuisine and cooking an amazing meal in her home. Even the non-cook in our group had a blast.
Alessandra is fun, knowledgeable, passionate and a great teacher. Well worth the money.
We started with coffee in the square as we discussed the food for the day then hit the local grocery, butcher and produce market before heading to her place to cook.
There was plenty of food, wine, and laughter and at no time did we feel rushed to leave!
Highly recommended!

Some days you just treasure forever. Having made reservations via email prior to heading to Tuscany, we met Alessandra at the Cortona city center mid-morning of our cooking day with her. Over an espresso for her and some early morning vino for us, we exchanged stories and decided on a cooking class menu: zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta cheese, parsley, and parmigiana-reggiano cheese; pecorino cheese; figs and prosciutto ham plus ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese, pork sausage, parmigiana-reggiano cheese, onion, garlic, and red wine in a tomato chili sauce; pork loin roast with mustard and thyme, sage, rosemary rub with red cabbage onion purée and roasted potatoes; and traditional Italian tiramisu. And red and white wine! We then went to the shops for all the ingredients including to the butcher shop and a produce market before going to Alessandra's welcoming, well-equipped, and functional home. We then experienced hours that seemed like minutes preparing all of the menu items and enjoying them together. We have all done cooking classes before but nothing like spending nine hours of pure bliss and the sharing of exceptional food and stories of similarities and differences that were beautiful and authentic. Alessandra is a genuinely kind and straightforward woman, wife, mother and human who we loved spending time with. Just fantastico!!

This class was amazing! My husband and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Alessandra and another group of a family of 4, so only 6 of us total. We started off in the morning at a cafe to talk about what we wanted to cook for the day. We had some extra time waiting on a taxi so my husband and I were able to walk around Cortona a little. We then went to buy all the ingredients. After that we went back to her home to start cooking. We took a break with a, what she called "light" lunch which was actually so much food and amazing. She had plenty of wine for us throughout lunch and as we finished cooking dinner. It was so great and casual and felt like a true Italian experience. Once we returned home, she emailed us the recipes so that we could attempt them ourselves! So happy we did this class!

My husband and I are planning on a one month trip to Italy in October, staying two weeks in Tuscany. How does one contact her to schedule a cooking class?
Thanks, Susan
Sorry for the delay. Just on our way home now. You can talk to Alessandra at her website Tuscany unfiltered or she had a TripAdvisor listing as well. Have fun!!

Hi Alessandra,
My husband and I are traveling to Italy in October and would love to take a cooking class. Do you have any openings October 11th or 12th?

Cortona, Italiaمساهمة
Hello,
I have space on the 12, here is how it works:
My cooking classes start at 9,30AM and should end up around 5,00PM, but it could be later, depends on the fun we have.
Meeting point is in Cortona, where we’ll go to a bar, have a cappuccino and I will explain you a bit about Italian cuisine and what's behind it.
We’ll then we go grocery shopping, the shopping is done in the same spaces I use for my everyday shopping, most times than not the merchants will want to know what we're cooking and will chat.
We’ll go home and cook, eat, talk and chat and finish when we want to.
It is a full hand on experience, in my house. I usually have a maximum of 6-8 people. Sometimes I group different people to reach this limit.
If you don't want to group with other people, please tell me so, but the prices will raise considerably.
My cooking class will comprehends
· antipasti - assortment of finger food and various typical dishes
· primi piatti -one risotto or one handmade pasta dish, at times we make both
· secondo con contorno
· dessert
· I provide local wine, but if you want to get super wines as Brunellos or other special wines, you can buy them and we can have those in the class.
No one has ever complained about the wines anyway.
The dishes we'll make will be based on what is available on the market now.
After we have prepared the dishes, we'll eat them leisurely at my table, no rush, chatting comfortably until we are tired or until there is no more laughing.
Prices are 160€ per person and include paperwork, food, lunch, local wines and Liqueus at the end of the meal.
You will be asked to pay a down payment of 60€ per person at booking time, via PayPal, and pay the balance in cash on the date of the class, unless otherwise agreed.
In case of classes booked within 30 days from the class itself, you’ll be requested to pay the whole amount.
Cost for eaters only is 50€ per person and is to be paid at booking.
Drive from and to your accomodation can be organized to, eventual Taxi is an extra cost.
At booking time is necessary to notify any food allergy of any/all the components of the class.
The classes are usually very fun and, as one "student” said before, they are informal but real classes, everybody will be asked to participate, but no one will be upset if you choose to just look.
Lunch usually starts around 2,30PM, I will not rush it up, actually, we usually have very interesting conversations around the table, in real Italian style. We usually finish at about 5, but if we take more time chatting and having fun, hey, who's going to complain?
Private classes are not common but in that case the cost is 250€per person. By Private classes I mean classes in which you decide to be alone and have no other "classmates" and you are a maximum of 3 people.
If the private class is composed of only one person, cost is 500€.
Special classes can be arranged -all pasta, all risotto, all fish, beefsteaks et cetera. In this case these are considered special and prices will have to be arranged aside.
In case of cancellation here is how it works: cancellation is possible with full refund until 2 months before the class, we will hold the deposit and refund the rest as a cancellation fee until 30 days before the class, no refund under 30 days from the class.
If something happens to the house or me, and I have to cancel the class, I will refund all was paid, within 2 weeks.
We can’t accept kids under 10 years of age as “students”, I am glad to have them as eaters only -only with adults supervision- free of charge. Do not get me wrong, I love children, I have 2, but my house is not suited for children: sharp knives, boiling pans, open stairs, and on a public road. Been there, done that, regretted it. I just want to make sure that people knows that when in my house for a cooking class THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR KIDS.
Let me know what you think, one way or another
