I am a northern California native who chose to study abroad in Italy in my areas of interest (art and design ). While in Italy I met my Italian husbands-to-be. We chose to stay and raise our children in his native Tuscany, where my early love of cooking turned into a full blown passion as I learned to cook with the native Tuscan housewives of the area. While I was studing design in Florence I worked myself throgh school as a private chef for a local aristocrat where I surprised the italian women daily with impressively accurate interpretations of traditional Tuscan cuisine.

Board of hiking or mountain biking in the hills, to be concluded at the end of the evening with a good pizza at the nearby church the priest cycle (only on Saturdays and Sundays). In addition to the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside (vines, olive and cypress trees) in the area you can visit the outdoor art museum of the nearby "Villa di Celle".
