Chi Sono

Mi chiamo Laura Giusti, sommelier e chef per passione da quasi trenta anni . Quando non sono intorno ai fornelli a testare ricette mi trovate a camminare col mio cane Fox, nella colline della bellissima campagna toscana.

Dopo una laurea in lettere ho seguito la mia vera vocazione: la cucina. Venti anni passati a gestire un ristorante con mio fratello, organizzando banchetti e matrimoni, mi han fatto capire che la cucina per me doveva andare oltre, doveva essere condivisione, insegnamento. Da lì è partita l’avventura dei corsi di cucina, un’esperienza bellissima che mi ha portato a trasmettere il mio amore per la gastronomia ad appassionati esperti e non, sia italiani che stranieri.

In tutti i corsi che propongo utilizzo ingredienti facilmente reperibili, stagionali ed di ottima qualità, le ricette sono sempre talmente semplici e gustose, che a termine corso viene subito la voglia, tornando a casa, di provarle.

Sono insegnante di cucina italiana e mediterranea a Casa Ombuto e Bellorcia con Tuscookany

    Laura, I cannot thank you enough for the three day cooking Lesson I had with you in Tuscany, as a chef myself it is incredible to find the hidden secrets behind the proper Italian food that the rest of the world miss out on. If I had more time in Italian on my holiday I would have loved to spent three more days with you, thank you again.
