Testimonials

“Before I went to Cucina della Terra I had very little cooking experience and was a bit nervous my first time in a cooking school.   But in Chef Gerri’s relaxed atmosphere with hands on help, I learned to cook Italian and left with confidence.  I now know how to do lots more than just boil water for pasta!!  In the daily local Umbrian trips we took, I saw where the raw materials come from that we later cooked into delicious meals.  I recommend Cucina dellla Terra for an intense, fun cooking time in the beautiful Umbrian countryside…..”  Doris S, NYC

I’m honored to have been part of a very private and outstanding culinary experience.  The spirit of Gerry is about to link food & culture in many details while preparing the dish in the kitchen.  Long life to CDT!” …….Philip , Van Couver, BC

“You two certainly out did yourself with the launching of Cucina della Terra.  My emotional cup runneth over when I look at our pictures and start to share with friends and family our Umbrian experience. Just when my cooking seemed dull and boring I am awakened by your recipes and new skills in the cucina.  My family thanks you…I have already made several recipes and I am in constant search for the right fruits & vegetables. I was able to buy fresh zucchini , swiss chard, small tomatoes and onions at the farmers market this week… “ Dawn V, Knoxville, Tenn.

“Since graduating from the Institute of Culinary Education in 2005, I’ve kept in touch with my former teacher Chef Gerri Sarnataro.  The first day I met Chef Gerri she talked about opening her own cooking school in Italy.   Well, 2008 turned out to be the year it finally came to life and I was blessed enough to be apart of the first tour in June.  I went to Italy with no expectations, just knowing that I was going to increase my repertoire of Italian cuisine and enjoy Italy’s country side.  It was certainly more than anything I could have imaged; hands-on cooking classes (in English), truffle hunts, olive oil tastings and sightseeing. Classes are small (15 max) and everything is included from meals & accommodations to your wine.  Not only do you visit five different villages in Tuscany, but you have a personal tour guide at each stop.  I haven’t even talked about the classes, which are incredible…” Rachel B, NYC
