Your Tuscan Host and Chef

Simone

The Flavours chef who will teach you all things Italian at our Tuscan Cookery School, which is held at the beautiful and peaceful venue, Villa Segalato is Simone.

Simone learnt all his cooking skills from his grandmother and is tremedously passioned about food...both creating dishes and enjoying the result!

Livia

In Tuscany you will be looked after by your host Livia, who is also a chef and teaches in our Bologna Cooking School. Her speciality is traditional dishes of the region and she's a dab hand at making Tortellini with ragu sauce.

Our Tuscany duo have had some great feedback from clients that have recently been on our course in the region.

“Just wanted to drop you a line to say how much we enjoyed the holiday. It was a wonderful experience and Livia and Simone made us so welcome and were absolutely brilliant. They worked so hard to make sure we had a fantastic cooking, eating and drinking time! The setting is perfect and exceeded all our expectations. Thank you for providing us with such a memorable holiday.”

“I would like to thank everyone and Flavours especially Simone and Livia for making a really enjoyable weekend in Tuscany, despite the weather being rather dull- the food, the surroundings and the company were certainly not ! I have already booked my next trip to Bologna!”
