Mediterranean Cooking Class in Valdichiana Senese
The healthier and more surprising side of Tuscan cuisine, between rural tradition, energy and longevity
Thanks to the principles of the Mediterranean Diet, Italy is one of the longest-living countries in the world, and part of this lifestyle begins at the table: seasonal vegetables, legumes, grains, bread, extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs and minimally processed ingredients.
This is the same kind of food that once nourished farmers working for hours in the fields under the sun, with a level of physical effort that today we could almost compare to that of an athlete. Simple dishes, yet capable of providing energy, flavour and nourishment.
In Valdichiana Senese, every season has its own recipes: from ribollita with Tuscan kale and legumes in winter, to panzanella with tomatoes, cucumber and onion in summer, as well as pappa al pomodoro, bruschetta and fresh pasta served with vegetable-based sauces. A professional chef will guide you through the preparation of a menu inspired by the culinary traditions of Valdichiana Senese, with particular attention to seasonality, balance and ingredients naturally rich in fibre and antioxidant compounds.
