A cooking lesson in Tuscany<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

In this post, I’m featuring Elisa Berghi<\/strong><\/span> who was born in the Chianti Classico area within the beautiful Italian Region of Tuscany. I guess almost every Tuscan woman always has a deep passion for cooking in her heart. Elisa recounts that ever since she was a young girl, she has been exploring the secrets of combining traditional food with innovative flavours.<\/p>\n

When she was twenty years old, she decided to put her knowledge at the disposal of others for their pleasure and started work in local restaurants.<\/p>\n

After gaining some experience, she took the second important decision of her career and started to cook as a private chef . She has cooked for events at many of the well-known castles in the Tuscan region. During this time she realised how important it was for her to have a cultural and human exchange and how interesting it was finding this \u201cingredient\u201d in the kitchen as well. While cooking as a private chef, she met the famous \u201cmaestra di cucina\u201d, Donatella Picchi, who passed on to Elisa her passion for traditional and creative cooking.<\/p>\n

Elisa loves to introduce new flavours into traditional Tuscan cooking and give a lighter and fresher taste to classical Tuscan cuisine. She has a deep love for sweet-and-sour dishes, which also belong to the Tuscan tradition.<\/p>\n

Elisa also spends a lot of time searching for organic and local food sources. The freshness of her selected products and the simplicity of her style are the secrets of her delicious dishes.<\/p>\n

In addition to cooking for events around Chianti, Elisa has taught Tuscan cookery at the International Kitchen at the Villa Mannaioni near Florence.<\/p>\n

She currently teaches Italian culture, cooking and sustainability at Apicius School of Hospitality in Florence and she still works around Tuscany in the main villas and castles.<\/p>\n

Share the genuine cooking skills of a young Tuscan woman! Enjoy a Tuscan cooking lesson with Elisa!<\/p>\n
