Enjoy an Amazing Italian Cooking Experience

Welcome To

Netta's Kitchen

Join me at my home to learn typical Tuscan home cooking using recipes passed down from generation to generation to create dishes at home for family and friends.

Food is at the heart of Italian culture and embodies tradition, family and regional pride. The flavours and experiences that Italian cuisine offers captivate people from around the world and brings them together around the table.  Experiences and traditions that I grew up with and continue today.

The Italian language is rich in culinary references that appear almost everywhere - in proverbs, idioms, songs, art, cinema and literature, and on a daily basis many conversations with friends and family in Italy include some mention of food.  

It was through my language school which I opened in 2005, offering Italian language and cultural activities, that the love and fascination which foreigners have for Italian food quickly became apparent. With a background in teaching, combined with my Italian heritage and the fact that I was raised in an Italian family and brought up on Italian food, I decided to add Netta's Kitchen to my language school, offering half day and full day hands-on Tuscan cooking classes and cultural experiences. 

It was then a natural step to create, together with my family, our seven night All-inclusive Tuscany Cultural Experiences for small groups, keeping numbers to a maximum of 8 in order to offer a more personal experience.  We also offer a full day Under the Tuscan Sun Experience as part of Netta's Kitchen, combining a fun morning of hands-on cooking in Netta's Kitchen with an afternoon of fun discovering and exploring Cortona and beyond.
