Enjoy an Amazing Italian Cooking Experience

Welcome To

Netta's Kitchen

Why not join me at my home, a restored farmhouse set in the countryside, just an eight minute drive down the hill from Cortona town centre. Learn typical Tuscan home cooking using recipes passed down from generation to generation to create at home for family and friends.

Food is an important part of Italian every day life and the heart of Italian culture, which embodies tradition, family and regional pride, and where family and friends come together around the table to enjoy good food and catch up with news.  Family traditions that I grew up with and continue today, where the kitchen has always been the heart of the home,  "la cucina 'e il cuore della casa".

It was through my language school offering Italian language and cultural activities that the love and fascination which foreigners have for Italian food quickly became apparent. With my background in teaching, combined with my love of cooking, my Italian heritage and the fact that I was born and raised in an Italian family,  I decided to start Netta's Kitchen, offering private half day hands-on Tuscan cooking classes and starting in 2026, 6 night all-inclusive cooking experiences for small groups of up to a maximum of 8 people, staying in my restored farmhouse Under the Tuscan Sun. 

So, if you would like to join in the fun and immerse yourself in the Italian way of life, have fun in the kitchen learning the secrets and tradtions of Tuscan cooking, enjoy interesting cultural experience and visits, why not get together a small group of friends to create memories that will last a lifetime.
