Program
Depending on the weather and season, the Chef greets guests in the Olive Oil Kitchen or in the herb garden where you will begin by selecting fresh herbs that will be used during the lesson. Cooking lessons begin at 11.00 and last for approximately three hours. This includes enjoying the lunch that participants have prepared. Guests will enjoy the hands-on experience of their preparations with the Chef and therefore have the possibility to understand each and every step: from the selection of certain ingredients through the entire cooking process, culminating in the presentation of the final dish.
Recipes
The dishes and accompanying lessons are based on seasonal ingredients. Some preparations are standard: handmade gnocchi or risotto, vegetables side dishes or appetizers, or traditional meat or fish recipes.
About the Chef
Villa Mangiacane’s private Chef has a passion for food, flavor, and creativity, designing regional specialties with an international twist. Meals can range from a simple three courses to a complex tasting menu of seven. Our Chef mixes the freshest local ingredients to present meals that will surely satisfy. He capitalizes on Tuscan ingredients such as traditional Bistecca alla Fiorentina, T-bone steaks from possibly the best butcher in Tuscany, to a more simple handcrafted spaghettoni with tomatoes and basil plucked from the garden. If your inclination is for fish, he could prepare Sicilian king prawns in honey crust on lentils and ginger sauce, accompanied by a fennel carpaccio. And, if you are curious to learn more, join him in a private cooking class where he will lead you through the steps to create your own Tuscan feast. From simple to sophisticated, our Chef has the ability to deliver an extraordinary meal in a spectacular setting.
