I'm Gaia and I grew up with my grandmother who transmitted me all the passion and love that I have for cooking and local flavours. I studied to become a professional chef because I believe that cooking and sharing food is one of the best way to express care and love for others. Through interactive cooking classes, I will guide you in mastering the art of Italian cuisine. You will learn the techniques, choose the right ingredients, and immerse yourself in the rich culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations in my family. I will share with you the secrets and tricks that have been perfected over the years. Whether it's a romantic picnic, an aperitif with friends, or a cooking class, I am dedicated to providing an unforgettable and unique experience and you can enjoy all of this in beautiful and suggestive locations. Imagine sipping on a glass of perfectly paired Italian wine, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards or on the top of one of the most beautiful terraces in Florence, let me transport you to Tuscany, where food and wine are not just sustenance, but a language of love and care. I hold two degrees, the first in Communication Sciences and the second in Educational Sciences. Additionally, I am a qualified sign language interpreter and am currently studying American Sign Language to further enhance my skills in this area. Despite my academic background, my true passion lies in the culinary arts. I pursued a culinary education and graduated with top honors from the Italian Chef Academy in Florence. In recognition of my thorough understanding of food safety and hygiene, I hold a valid HACCP certificate. Following my graduation, I had the opportunity to work as an assistant chef at the same prestigious academy where I received my culinary training. I completed internships at a cooking school in Florence and a local pastry shop, where I specialized in baking and pastry-making. I am constantly seeking to expand my culinary expertise and stay up-to-date with the latest cooking trends. If my calendar is full, feel free to contact me, I'll be happy to help you! I can arrange luxury transportation in a Mercedes with a professional driver. For easy communication on the day of the tour, I suggest downloading WhatsApp on your smartphone.
