Join Chef Davide Cerretini in his intimate Tuscan kitchen for an exclusive culinary journey into the heart of Italian authenticity. Limited to just three couples, this immersive cooking class offers an unparalleled opportunity to unlock the secrets of Tuscan cuisine while savouring the finest flavours of the region.

Indulge your senses as Chef Davide reveals the closely-guarded techniques behind three iconic pasta sauces essential for perfect Italian authenticity. From the aromatic simplicity of Aglio e Olio with garlic, olive oil, and peperoncino to the creamy richness of Cacio e Pepe with Zucchini, a traditional cheese sauce from Siena, and the vibrant freshness of Pesto Toscano with arugula and walnut, each sauce embodies the essence of Tuscan gastronomy. Plus, discover the delightful secret that these sauces can be prepared in just 10 minutes, perfect for any busy weeknight.

As you learn and create alongside Chef Davide, you'll glean invaluable tips and tricks passed down through generations, ensuring your dishes reflect true Italian tradition. Sip and savour Prosecco and carefully curated wine pairings as you mingle with fellow food enthusiasts in an atmosphere of warmth and conviviality.

Elevate your culinary skills and enrich your palate with this unforgettable experience, where every dish tells a story and every bite is a taste of Tuscany's rich culinary heritage. Reserve your place at Chef Davide's table and embark on a journey of flavour, passion, and authenticity unlike any other.

The classes take place in a welcoming private residence right in the heart of the picturesque town of West Malling, Kent. The area is beautiful to visit for the day if you'd like to come early and stroll around the charming medieval town, or visit nearby Leeds Castle. There is a train station 12 minutes' walk from the house with direct trains from Victoria, Waterloo or Charing Cross (approx. 50 mins travel time), but there is also plenty of paid parking in the streets nearby with driving from central London taking around an hour.

(Please be aware that for corporate events or larger parties exceeding 8 guests, we will arrange a separate venue. Additional costs will apply for kitchen rental, extra staff, and corkage fees. For more information, please contact us for further details.)

Hi, my name is Davide Cerretini, also known as 'The One Star Chef'. I'm a native of Tuscany and spent the last 30 years in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where I had a long career as a chef and restauranteur. I have experience in the entertainment business, as I have appeared in TV shows, such as The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, starred in a movie, as well as being interviewed countless times across radio and TV internationally.

The food I cook is 100% authentically Tuscan, learned from my family growing up in the countryside of Italy. Throughout my career I have focused on preserving the flavours and ancient techniques of that region without compromise. I am very passionate about the stories behind the dishes and how simple ingredients prepared in the right way can be so much more satisfying and flavourful than elaborate and complex recipes.

My classes are relaxed, humorous and full of storytelling. You will learn tips and tricks that I picked up while growing up in Tuscany, and never forgot.
I love to share my secrets with beginners, but also with more skilled chefs that haven't had the opportunity to experience the unique way of cooking that you only find in Tuscany.

My goal is to create a friendly atmosphere with relaxing interaction, all orbiting around delicious food, wine, stories and learning.
