BEST Experience: Cooking Class in Tuscany | Chef Ryan
While we were in Tuscany, we did a cooking course with Chef Ryan. Ryan is an American who has lived in Tuscany for many years with his Italian wife, and he really knows the ins and outs of the italian kitchen. We were so impressed by how much we got out of the course, and we really learned a lot!
The course took place in Ryan's own private kitchen, where we cooked inside his house and afterwards ate the food outside in the garden, overlooking the stunning Tuscan landscape. We made our own pasta, learned how to properly salt and cook a steak, made our own gelato (Italian ice cream) and so many other things. It was so much fun for both Morten and I.
It was just us, and one other couple, so we had a lot of time to ask Ryan all the questions we might have. I would definitely recommend checking out his cooking course if you're in the area! :)

And, a big thank you to George and Linda, owners and hosts of Cook in Tuscany for completely exceeding my expectations.
Trip to Tuscany, Italy (2017, HD)
This season we (I and my husband) decided to go on a spring vacation - although usually we both prefer northern regions, this time we chose to explore the south of Europe - Italy. We chose the wonderful Tuscany region (as we both have already been to Rome, Venice, Naples etc.). Tuscany seemed to be the right choice and so it was. :) Every time I travel, I - mostly - seek for three things - nature, culture and peace. Tuscany was perfect for that - wonderful place for people who love history, art, culture and sightseeing. The medieval towns are a true soul food, not to mention endless vineyards and warm sunsets. We wandered around the Tuscany region, stayed in Florence and San Gimignano, also visiting Pisa, Siena, Volterra.
This video is a little bit about how the week felt (and looked) like.
As always, it was a wonderful trip - thanks to the best hubby in the world. :)

How to Live the Sweet Life in Italy: Friendship, Festivity, and Food in Tuscany (1999)
Frances Mayes is an American university professor, poet, memoirist, essayist, and novelist.
Born and raised in Fitzgerald, Georgia, Mayes attended Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, and obtained her BA from the University of Florida. In 1975 she earned her MA from San Francisco State University, where she eventually became Professor of Creative Writing, director of The Poetry Center, and chair of the Department of Creative Writing.
Mayes has published several works of poetry: Climbing Aconcagua (1977), Sunday in Another Country (1977), After Such Pleasures (1979), The Arts of Fire (1982), Hours (1984), and Ex Voto (1995). In 1996 she published the book Under the Tuscan Sun: At Home in Italy. The book is a memoir of Mayes buying, renovating, and living in an abandoned villa in rural Cortona in Tuscany, a region of Italy. It went to Number One on the New York Times Best Seller list and remained on the list for over two years. In 2003 the film Under the Tuscan Sun was released. Adapted to the screen by director Audrey Wells, the movie was loosely based on Mayes's book. In 1999, Mayes followed this literary success with another international bestseller, Bella Tuscany: The Sweet Life in Italy, and in 2000 with In Tuscany. Mayes's first novel, Swan, was published in 2002. With photographer Steven Rothfeld and her husband Edward Kleinschmidt Mayes, she published the phototext Bringing Tuscany Home in 2004.
Also a food-and-travel writer, Mayes is the editor of The Best American Travel Writing 2002 and the author of A Year in the World: Journeys of A Passionate Traveller (2006), narratives of her and her husband's travels in Greece, Turkey, Spain, Morocco and other countries.
Now writing full-time, she and her poet husband divide their time between homes in Hillsborough, North Carolina and Cortona, Italy, where she serves as the artist director of the annual Tuscan Sun Festival. A new memoir Every Day in Tuscany was released in March 2010.

Cooking with Locals: Silvia Baracchi of Il Falconiere
I love to EAT Italian food, so it's high time that I learn how to cook it, the Italian way! Michelin star chef, Silvia Baracchi invited myself and my parents to have a cooking class with her at her cute Tuscan kitchen on the breath-taking relais & chateaux estate of Il Falconiere. We made a 3 course meal from scratch, sipping wine, learning tricks and laughing along the way. A bonus is you get to eat what you make later on at their stunning al fresco restaurant. A truly memorable afternoon and meal.

Eco Holiday in Italy: Fontanaro organic and ecological farm house between Tuscany and Umbria
Fontanaro organic farm house (winter edition video teaser).
A country slow living experience between Tuscany and Umbria. 5 charming guest houses with: maxi Jacuzzi, infinity pool, internet wireless, cooking and wine classes, free organic vegetables from the garden, cultural experiences, horse riding very closed to the farmhouse.
There are few places where you can find serenity, explore medieval hill towns, Etruscan art, and historic cities, and enjoy great food and extraordinarily welcoming hosts. Fontanaro offers all that and much more.
The Fontanaro estate contains a beautifully restored two story stone farmhouse with two separate luxury villas. Located in Umbria,the green heart of Italy on the border of Tuscany, the property is set on 40 acres with 2.000 olive trees and a small vineyard of old Sangiovese's grapes. The view lends itself to rolling green hills facing breathtaking sunsets and sunrise like a Perugino's painting.
The farm house, built in 1893, is beautifully restored with modern comforts. It is surrounded by a large grass lawn with lemon trees, an extensive collection of old english roses, a great variety of many flowers and a vegetable garden. There is a bread oven, barbecue and a large private Infinity swimming pool with high-performance salt chlorinator (14 x 6m- 46 x 19,6ft ) with a maxi Jacuzzi.
The two cozy villas, named Frantoio and Leccino, are adjacent to the main house. Both have their own private patio and garden. Each villa is fully furnished and decorated with tasteful Umbrian touches, is approximately 60 sq mt (540 sq. ft.) and has a large living room with SKY satellite TV and WI-FI access, a well equipped kitchen corner and fireplace, plus a large bedroom with king-size bed and a comfortable, modern bathroom with shower. Linens, pool towels, hair dryer, kettle, cooking pots and pans, dish washer, microwave oven, CD player, washing machine, cellular phone, and final cleaning are all furnished to render your vacation complete. Pets are permitted on request.
When in season, guests may take advantage of free produce (fruit, tomatoes, greens) from the vegetable garden.
All guests are personally welcomed by the owners and will receive personal attention and care during their stay. Everything possible will be done to assure an unforgettable holiday.
A library of English language books is provided in each villa. You can browse the selection of art books, guides, maps, brochures and tourist information about the wonderful places to visit in the area.
The estate is located 1 km from the walled village of Paciano, a perfectly restored 13th century medieval village located in a peaceful and scenic location. There is a view of Lake Trasimeno and the lights of Chiusi, Montepulciano and Cortona in the distance.
The town is constructed on the peak of a hill 400 meters above sea level. In 1992, the European Community named Paciano un villaggio ideale. It is known as one of the top ten villages in Italy for its idyllic setting and quality of life. The restaurants of the area serve typical cuisine representative of the rich Umbrian and Tuscan enogastronomic culture and tradition.
Less than a one hour drive from Fontanaro, you can explore and enjoy Assisi, Perugia, Siena, Deruta, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Orvieto, Pienza, Cortona, Montefalco, Chiusi and a host of Etruscan architectural gems in Umbria and Tuscany.
From Chiusi, a one hour train trip brings you to the center of Rome or Florence. Trains leave in the morning and return in the evening providing a convenient way to visit these splendid cities without having to navigate the narrow streets and heavy traffic by car.
