What a beautiful tour we had! Antoinette was absolutely wonderful. She immediately found out our cooking skill levels, asked if there was anything in particular we wanted to learn about and together we discussed what dishes would be fun to make. She suggested some of her personal favorite easy to make at home recipes and they were perfect!! As we walked through the market Antoinette took the time to show us how to determine the best quality items and price points. As someone who loves to cook and learn about our food this was wonderful. Then the recipe creations were fun, knowledgeable and even got my hubby cooking (which never happens — he even said he would make some of these dishes back home with the kids as he was blown away with the simplicity without sacrificing flavor!). Truly the BEST experience and one we will never forget and that is thanks to Antoinette and her team!!
Thank you very much for your detailed and heartfelt feedback. We are truly delighted to hear that Antoinette created such a personalized and engaging experience for you. Her ability to assess your cooking skills, tailor the recipes to your preferences, and share her personal favorites clearly made the tour both enjoyable and inspiring. It’s wonderful that the market walk enriched your understanding of selecting quality ingredients and that the cooking session not only was fun but also motivated your husband to cook at home a truly special outcome! We take great pride in offering experiences that combine education, enjoyment, and lasting memories. Your kind words about Antoinette and her team mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again for more unforgettable culinary adventures.
Our guide, chef and host were fantastic. We had a five course meal and we went to market to purchase ingredients for each course. The chef was wonderful and gave us excellent instructions. Well with the money and time.
My daughter and I had an awesome personalized tour of the Italian markets with our tour guide, Marie. She was incredibly informative and taught us a lot about cooking with fresh ingredients. We loved this part of the tour. (She was also our tour guide for The Mall in Tuscany). After the tour of the Italian markets, we proceeded to the restaurant and met with the chefs. We learned how to make pasta from scratch by hand. This was a great experience for us. Afterwards, we had the opportunity to cook our pasta and choose our Italian dish. I made a traditional Roman Pasta all'Amitriciana and my daughter made Fettuccine con I Frutti di Mare. Both dishes were DELIZIOSO! Our meals were served with red wine and dessert as well.This private cooking lesson was great because it was personalized and one-on-one. Also, thank you to Marie, the chefs, and the restaurant for being attentive to my daughter who has severe peanut and nut allergies.
