About this activity
Chiara’s passion for cooking began as a young girl when she cooked with her grandmothers who were both excellent cooks. She added to her culinary repertoire over time by working with a friend who owned a restaurant. Later, Chiara fulfilled her grandmothers’ dream of opening a restaurant! She is eager to showcase local produce and even has her own beehive, a vegetable garden, fruit trees and grows ancient grain that she uses to make homemade bread.
As much as possible, Chiara uses products from her farm. She enjoys using modern technology to experiment with new techniques of cooking and makes creative dishes using a sous vide and a special freezer. Food allows Chiara to connect with her grandmother – through cooking they shared a private vocabulary of care, love and passion. Chiara loves cooking with herbs and wild flowers that she picks because she wants to share the beautiful aromas of her region in her food.

glad i booked this trip over all the others. totally lived up to what i had been expecting. personal one to one basis. loved the garden to plate approach. learnt a lot about regional cooking and in particular the history behind it. very relaxed and informal. thoroughly enjoyable and incredibly interesting. the home is beautiul set in lovely countryside. the host has a great respect for the land and cooking traditions. after visiting large scale production of local products, this for me was far more appealing, back to basics, with good ingredients cooked well. a fantastic day shared with like minded people. highly recommended!
