点评:Last night, we had a fantastic half-day hands-on cooking class just outside of Cortona, led by the talented Chef Ryan Hanley.
The experience of preparing a four-course Tuscan meal in the comfort of Ryan and his wife Debora’s home was not only entertaining but also incredibly educational. The meal we created was delicious, and I can’t wait to share it with my friends and family!
We started with an antipasto plate that featured a refreshing Panzanella salad in the center, surrounded by freshly made Fava Bean Bruschetta, homemade Ricotta, Stuffed Tomatoes with rice, and a Polenta cup topped with sliced Pancetta and Gorgonzola. Each participant played an important role in making the meal.
Next, we enjoyed our handmade (no egg) Pici Pasta, a traditional dish from this region, paired with a flavorful Tuscan Rabbit Ragu. My favorite dish of the evening was the tender slices of Chianina beef (these large white cows are famous in the area), served with a fresh green and red peppercorn sauce, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and slices of Grana cheese. To end the night, nearly six hours later, we indulged in a creamy Panna Cotta topped with a mixed berry compote, accompanied by a sample of Ryan’s homemade Limoncello.
The evening was filled with laughter, abundant wine, fantastic food, and unforgettable memories created with new friends. A massive thank you to Ryan and Debora for opening their beautiful home to us! This experience was undoubtedly the best we've ever had!

翻译:昨晚,我们在科尔托纳郊外参加了一场精彩的半天动手烹饪课,由才华横溢的厨师 Ryan Hanley 主持。
在 Ryan 和他的妻子 Debora 舒适的家中准备四道托斯卡纳大餐的经历不仅有趣,而且非常有教育意义。我们做的饭菜很美味,我迫不及待地想和朋友和家人分享!
我们首先吃了一盘开胃菜,中间是一份清爽的 Panzanella 沙拉,周围是新鲜制作的蚕豆烤面包、自制的意大利乳清干酪、酿番茄米饭和一杯玉米粥,上面放着切片的培根和戈贡佐拉奶酪。每位参与者都在制作这顿饭中发挥了重要作用。
接下来,我们享用了我们手工制作的(无蛋)Pici 意大利面,这是该地区的传统菜肴,搭配美味的托斯卡纳兔肉酱。当晚我最喜欢的菜是嫩嫩的 Chianina 牛肉片(这些大白牛在当地很有名),配上新鲜的绿色和红色胡椒酱、芝麻菜、樱桃番茄和格拉纳奶酪片。将近六个小时后,我们享用了奶油奶冻,上面撒了混合浆果果盘,并品尝了 Ryan 自制的柠檬酒。
晚上充满了欢笑、丰富的葡萄酒、美味的食物以及与新朋友创造的难忘回忆。非常感谢 Ryan 和 Debora 向我们敞开他们美丽的家!这次经历无疑是我们经历过的最好的经历!
