“Margherita and her mom, Veronica, were fantastic- they are so a great duo! Margherita picked us up in Florence for a short drive to their beautiful estate. The sunset on the ride over was breathtaking. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Veronica who had everything prepped for us. We snacked on cheese, wine, and taralli (round crackers) while making delicious focaccia, baked fennel with béchamel sauce, ravioli, and flourless chocolate cake with raspberries. I’m a bit more experienced in cooking/baking than my husband is and we both learned a lot of new tricks! We truly enjoyed our time with Margherita and Veronica and were so sad to leave after…”
