Have
you ever wanted to know how the most
famous Italian traditional dish
on Earth is usually made? Woud you
like to discover what makes a pizza
really delicious? You can experience
all this during your next holidays
in Tuscany!
Arianna & Friends organize private
pizza classes in Tuscany directly
at the pizza maker's house, a country
cottage in the area of the Pisan hills,
very close to Pisa, Livorno and Lucca.
Our
pizza classes take place in the
evening starting from 4 pm
or in the morning starting from 10
am for about 3 hours.
You meet our English speaking assistant
(also German, French, Spanish
and Russian are available) and get
to Aldo's (the chef) house, a wonderful
stone country cottage on top of a
very panoramic hill.
Here you start working with him preparing
the dough only using a selected
organic wheat flour.
Then you start preparing the dessert,
usually an apple pie or the
cantuccini biscuits, typical
Tuscan almond cookies.
While leaving the dough, you also
bake and taste some delicious cecìna,
a thin chickpea pie typical of Pisa
and the coastal area of Tuscany usually
served with focaccia.
You also prepare and taste some
quick bruschettas, served with
Aldo's home made pickles. Before starting
baking the pizzas, you will also prepare
all the ingredients that will be on
top of them: organic basil and
extra virgin olive oil, Tuscan
sausage, organic vegetables
from Aldo's plot etc..
Finally, you bake several pizzas,
served as soon as they get ready,
for a great pizza dinner together
with Aldo's wines in an amazing
terrace just outside of his house.
In rainy days, the pizza making room
can be used also as a dining room.
Your pizza making experience at Aldo's
will be the most striking day of
your holiday in Tuscany!

This
is an email we received on 15th
November 2011 from Susan, who
experienced our pizza class
at the chef's house.
Dear
Consuelo,
I just wanted to write a note
to tell you what a wonderful
time we all had at Aldo's home.
He was such a wonderful host
and Luca was very charming,
delightful and informative.
We were delighted with all the
wonderful food and the beautiful
home. Thank you very much. We
send our best to Aldo and Luca.
I also wanted to ask about my
cousins camera (...).
Best regards,
Susan

This is an email we got on 3rd
September 2011 from Lana, who
booked one-day shore excursion
from Livorno port and got to
our pizza maker's dwelling for
a pizza class.
Bonjourno
Massimo,
I have to say that our day with
you at Aldo's house making pizza
was one of the highlights of
our trip! It was truly a magical
day! The cruise was very nice
but a little large for our liking.
The other trip that we enjoyed
was to Naples, Pompeii &
the Amalfi coast. We had lunch
at a beautiful restaurant in
Positano. Bellisima!
Thanks so much for making our
trip so special. Russell and
I may be traveling back to Tuscany
next September as he will be
having his 50th birthday. I
will definitely be in touch
if we make the trip back.
Please give our thanks again
to Aldo.
Best regards, Lana
