Live Tuscany Like a Local – 3-Night Cooking Getaway at the Borgo

Anne Kusmich2024-05-20What a wonderful cooking experience with our host and chef, Dario. Dario is knowledgeable and fun. Our first course was a sausage and cheese crostone which was out of this world. Then we made two amazing pastas from scratch and learned a simple tomato basil sauce for the gnocchi and Cacio e Pepe for the long noodles. The banana gelato was the topping on the cake. So fresh and delicious!! All recipes were shared after class and I can’t wait to try some of them at home. After touring and shopping all over the region we felt this was one of our most favorite days in Tuscany. Definitely a must!!!
