What To Expect
My name is Francesco, and I am 25 years old. Since I was a child, cooking has been my passion, a passion that stems from memories of home, from the days spent cooking with my father, who taught me to choose and respect each ingredient as a little treasure.
I invite you to experience a special culinary journey with me, immersed in a peaceful corner where time seems to flow more slowly.
In an ancient olive mill in Umbria, in Monte del Lago, by the charming Lake Trasimeno, surrounded by nature and history.
Together, we will prepare simple yet flavorful dishes: handmade fresh pasta, freshly pressed olive oil, and many other local products that tell the story of the beauty and goodness of our land.
It’s not just a cooking class; it’s a journey into memories, a rediscovery of slow and thoughtful gestures, and an opportunity to learn, laugh, and share a special moment with old and new friends. Every dish we prepare together will be a harmony of ingredients that speak of tradition, passion, and the joy of being together. At the end of the class, you will have the chance to relish what we’ve cooked, accompanied by a tasting of fresh olive oil.
