Menu ideas

The Chef recommends…

The menus suggested by personal chef Cristiano Milighetti range from simple and country-cooking recipes to a more sophisticated and refined cuisine. All the menus include waiter service and are paired with selected wines.

These menus can be chosen for typical Tuscan cooking classes, for cooking shows or a lunch/dinner at home with private chef.

The menu prices for cooking classes and dinners with personal chef at home vary according to the dishes prepared and the number of participants.
