Like Cooking with Friends in Tuscany
Cooking Classes with Nonna Ciana的点评
点评：The day after our truffle hunt at Le Pietre Vive, we returned for a cooking class with Chef Alberto and Chiara. It turned out to be another highlight of our time in Tuscany and easily a five-star experience.
The class lasted about two hours, followed by another hour to sit down and enjoy the lunch we had prepared. Our menu was wonderfully Tuscan and based on simple, fresh ingredients: squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta and pecorino, handmade pici pasta with homemade tomato sauce, grilled and roasted eggplant with pecorino and fresh tomatoes, and a ricotta and whipped-cream mousse made with Le Pietre Vive's own saffron-infused honey and with lunch we had, of course, their own Chianti Colli Senesi.
Chef Alberto was an absolute delight. This was an exceptionally hands-on class. Alberto would demonstrate a technique and then turn it over to us, offering pointers and encouragement while having us do the actual cooking. He was patient with our many questions, laughed with us, and clearly loves sharing his knowledge.
He was also terrific with our 10-year-old daughter, who loves to cook. Almost immediately he had her working the electric mixer to make whipped cream, and she remained completely engaged throughout the class. She wasn't given token "children's activities", she was simply included as another cook in the kitchen.
Chiara translated for Alberto and served as his unofficial sous chef. We had been truffle hunting with her the previous morning, so returning the next day felt less like arriving for another booked activity and more like coming back to see good friends.
Perhaps the best part was the setting. The class takes place in the actual home kitchen of the family that runs Le Pietre Vive. Nonna made a brief appearance, one of the family's older daughters wandered in to grab something from the refrigerator, and at one point the family cat casually strolled through the kitchen on its way outside. We felt welcomed and at home.
Afterward, Alberto and Chiara left the three of us to enjoy what we had made together at the family's table. Probably because of the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients, it was one of the best meals we ate during our two weeks in Italy.
If you enjoy cooking, I can't recommend this experience highly enough, particularly for families with children who genuinely like being in the kitchen. We came away with new techniques and recipes, but more importantly with the memory of a wonderfully warm morning cooking together in a Tuscan family home and now with new friends in Italy.

翻译：在Le Pietre Vive体验了松露采集之后的第二天，我们又回到那里参加由阿尔贝托大厨和基娅拉主持的烹饪课。这再次成为了我们在托斯卡纳之行的亮点，绝对是一次五星级的体验。
课程持续了大约两小时，之后我们又花了一个小时坐下来享用自己亲手制作的午餐。我们的菜单充满了地道的托斯卡纳风味，所用食材也都是简单而新鲜的：填有里科塔奶酪和佩科里诺奶酪的南瓜花、搭配自制番茄酱的手工意面。烤茄子配佩科里诺奶酪和新鲜番茄，还有用Le Pietre Vive自家制作的藏红花蜂蜜制成的里科塔奶油慕斯。午餐时，我们当然也品尝了他们自产的基安蒂·科利·塞内西葡萄酒。
阿尔贝托厨师真是太棒了。这是一门实践性极强的课程。阿尔贝托会先演示某个烹饪技巧，随后便让我们亲自操作，同时给予指导与鼓励。对于我们提出的诸多问题，他也总是耐心解答。他和我们一起欢笑，显然很乐意分享自己的知识。
他对我们10岁的女儿也照顾有加，她特别喜欢烹饪。很快，他就让女儿操作电动搅拌器来打发奶油，整个课程中她都全神贯注、兴致勃勃。他并没有只给她安排些“适合孩子的简单任务”，而是直接把她当作厨房里的另一位厨师来对待。
Chiara则为Alberto做翻译，并充当他的非正式副厨。前一天早上我们还和她一起采松露，所以第二天再回去时，感觉并不像是去参加另一项预约好的活动，而更像是回去看望好朋友们。
或许最棒的部分就是环境了。课程是在经营Le Pietre Vive这家店的这家人真正的家庭厨房里进行的。那位祖母也短暂露面了一下，家里年纪稍大的女儿则走进来从冰箱里拿点东西。有一次，家里的猫漫不经心地从厨房走过，准备出去。我们感觉受到了热情欢迎，就像在自己家一样。
之后，阿尔贝托和基娅拉让我们三人留在餐桌旁，尽情享用我们一起制作的佳肴。或许是因为食材简单又新鲜，这顿饭成了我们在意大利两周行程中吃过的最美味的一餐。
如果你喜欢烹饪，我极力推荐这次体验。尤其适合那些喜欢待在厨房里的有孩子的家庭。我们学到了新的烹饪技巧与食谱，但更重要的是，我们留下了在托斯卡纳的一户家庭中共同烹饪的温馨回忆——那个早晨真是美好至极。如今，我们还在意大利结识了新朋友。
