Chef Alain was exactly who I needed to walk me through this. From signing up to the first bite, it was simple. Easy, step by step instructions, helpful encouragement. Chef Alain was fantastic with his instructions. Lui un bravo chef!

About Chef Alain: On our Heart of Italy Tour, one of our highlights is spending an afternoon with Chef Alain in a beautiful villa in the Tuscan countryside learning his tricks to making different types of authentic handmade pasta, sauces, appetizers, and  — our favorite — tiramisu. Chef Alain is a full-time executive chef in a newly-opened restaurant in his hometown of Pistoia, in Tuscany. He lives there with his two children, girlfriend, and two dogs.
