Personal Chef - Cooking class at your villa

My friend and I took Asias cooking class at the olive mill in Pienza and it was AMAZING. She is so knowledgeable and patient with her students and her passion is so evident in her skills. We made 3 different types of pasta and she made it so simple.

Asia and her team created a once in in a lifetime experience at the Villa. Her menu over the week was excellent! Regional, authentic, thoughtful. Our pasta making class was thorough and very accessible for our group who were first time pasta makers.

My wife and I had a private pasta-making class with Asia. I couln't recommend her enough!! A true expert and a wonderful teacher! The class included an apperitivo, 3 pasta courses and some wine. Everything was flawless and truly enjoyable. One of the major highlights of our entire trip in Italy.

Chef Asia communicated with us before we arrived and made arrangements to come to our accommodations. She arrived promptly and took over the kitchen. Our group of four prepared 3 pastas (with instruction). They were cooked with Asia’s sauces. The meal was delicious. The chef entertained us with delightful stories throughout. Dessert of tiramisu was fabulous. We had plenty of leftovers to enjoy for the rest of the week. Highly recommended activity. You won’t regret it!

We had Silvia for 3 nights, one including a pasta class. All the food was delicious. Silvia was really accommodating with one pescatarian and one gluten free desk, making extra meals when required. The pasta class was lots of fun and was delicious when we got to eat it. Silvia also make her own gluten free dough, which was delicious. We highly recommend Silvia. She is a great chef and is kind and attentive.

Wonderful cooking class in the heart of Tuscany! Chef Asia was warm and knowledgeable, teaching us to make authentic dishes with fresh local ingredients. A fun, hands-on experience and one of the highlights of our trip! She is very kind and knowledgeable, great with kids!

A recent trip to beautiful Tuscany included one of the most memorable experiences of the entire trip. Our group was very fortunate to have had a personal pasta making class with Asia. It was fun, instructive, experiential and delicious! Asia is a warm, engaging person and a wonderful teacher, with interesting stories to share and culinary expertise beyond compare. Our time with her exceeded our expectations and made for a most memorable! If you have an opportunity to have a class with Asia don’t miss it!

We had the absolute pleasure of spending an afternoon with Asia, and it was the highlight of our trip! She taught us how to make three different types of pasta from scratch. What really stood out was how she brought the science, history and culture around the food to life, which made the experience really rich. After our hands-on session, Asia switched hats and became our private chef, making fresh sauces to pair with each pasta, and a tiramisu. One of our party has an allergy to nuts, and she was really thorough and thoughtful in ensuring the recipes were adjusted, checking in about different ingredients when needed, to check our friend could eat them. She also took loads of wonderful photos (so we could focus on the cooking!), and later shared them along with a detailed recipe guide so we can recreate everything at home. She even encouraged us to reach out for local recommendations, which was such a lovely touch. Can’t recommend this experience highly enough! Thank you, Asia, for making it so special

Our cooking class with Asia was the highlight of our visit to Tuscany. We were 9 people and 3 generations of family and Asia guided us all to the best meal we've had. Her skill and patience introduced us all to talents with pasta we never knew we had and the experience will be cherished for the rest of our lives.

We had a truly lovely time cooking with Asia in Val d’Orcia. I joined the class with my family, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Asia is kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The recipes were simple, delicious, and easy to follow. Perfect for enjoying together. A special touch was getting to taste her own wine, Tuttomio, which was excellent and complemented the meal beautifully. It was more than just a cooking class, it felt like sharing a genuine moment of Tuscan life. We’re really grateful for the experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
