What we’re about

Ciao a tutti,

Most of you know me for my cooking lessons on “Francesca’s Free Cooking Lessons” on Meetup. I have created a NEW Meetup "TOUR" group for those who want to combine their passion of food, cooking and travel.

With over 20 years of tour experience, a journey with me is uniquely different. You are treated as my guest, not a tourist, and my tours are curated through the eyes of a local as we explore timeless traditions. Join me on a tour to ITALY, where we will share a villa, shop at the local food markets, and then cook together to create memorable moments with fellow food travelers. The trip will also include visiting the area’s historical and natural attractions as well learning about traditions and folklore.

Join me on “Travel with Francesca” to find out more about this exciting new adventure!

SOUTH AFRICAN SAFARI 2025 & GRAND TOUR OF ITALY 2025:

I am currently accepting booking requests for South African safaris! If you've ever dreamt of witnessing African animals in their natural habitat, the ideal time to plan your visit is between November and March. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you are considering exploring this breathtaking part of the world - it's not too late! XF
