We loved Enrico’s class. The history of the steak was fun to learn and we appreciated seeing what the cows look like- so big! Enrico taught us what to do cooking it inside or outside. All the presenters were easy to understand and we loved being part of the Artviva online familia! We loved using Artviva when we were in Firenze several years ago. So excited to try making the bistecca for lunch now! Bon Appetito! Aimee, Sophie, Bella and David
