Kitchen has always been the fulcrum of this home, where my family is living since more than 7 generations. I have always been fascinated by my grandmother's ability to prepare awesome dishes from Tuscan tradition, always with few, simple but precious ingredients. That cultural heritage was in danger of disappearing: I spent a lot of time cooking with her, trying to learn her recipes and secrets. In the end, I realized that she had given me a bigger gift: I had assimilated her cooking philosophy! Then, I realized that tradition is not a dusty book but a living thing able also to adapt to new conditions, and even improve. I studied ingredient's seasonality, their sustainable production systems, new cooking techniques, techniques of tasting: almost without realizing it, in the meantime, I became Chef and finally, also Sommelier. Since a lot of years, I decided to share this path: a long path that is not yet finished... Giacomo

I pici sono il piatto di pasta più famoso della Provincia di Siena. Si tratta di un tipo di pasta fatta a mano, più spessa dei normali spaghetti, che viene realizzata arrotolando l’impasto e sfregandolo con entrambe le mani; questo gesto viene appunto chiamato “appiciare”. Imparerete, divertendovi, a realizzare non solo i pici, ma anche tagliatelle e gustosi sughi per il condimento, come il ragù di carne, il sugo all’aglione o cacio e pepe. Al termine del corso di cucina assaporate i primi piatti, debitamente accompagnati da un calice di vino. In omaggio per voi il grembiule del vero Tuscan Chef.
