“Your class was the best thing we did on vacation and I wish I was back there cooking with you in that wonderful kitchen!” T.E. Atlanta GA

“We recreated the Tuscan menu for our friends and they loved everything, especially the biscotti with the vino santo. I had the best time cooking with you, thank you again and I hope you’ll come see us when you’re in Seattle.” J.K. Seattle, WA

“Thank you to Mary for all the help she gave us in planning our trip, it was amazing! We loved Giulio in Roma! But the highlight was cooking with Gina, it was so special and I learned so much. I can’t wait to get into the kitchen, we’re planning a big dinner for friends.” C.K., Boston, MA

“This was the best culinary week I have ever been on – and I’ve done others in Italy and in France. Gina’s insider’s view gave us information not only on the food but of the culture and history of the Tuscans.” N.N., Dallas, TX

“S. and I have been home a couple weeks now, and we continue to say to friends and family that our day with you was the highlight of our trip. We really had such a wonderful time – and we learned a lot too! I made a strawberry crostata last week, and it was delicious. A bit runny due to the fresh strawberries, but hey – what’s wrong with mopping up extra gooey strawberry juice with nice hunks of delicious sweet crust? Nothing! S. has perfected his fresh pasta, thanks to your “two fingers” mixing method. He made fresh tagliatelle last Sunday, then he made the sausage and white wine/cream sauce recipe from your book. It was delicious. We’re already planning our next trip!” J.S., San Francisco, CA

“The whole week was so interesting and great. Every day we woke up and said ‘yesterday was my favorite day’, how will she top that?! And then by the end of that day we were saying this was our favorite!” T.Q., Poquoson, VA

“It was an incredible learning experience. It changed my life and the way I cook!” M.O. Grosse Pointe, MI

“This was the best cooking class I’ve taken… the small class size really gave everyone ample opportunity to cook and master techniques.” K.O. San Diego, CA
