Catering
Podere Tina is equipped with the best possible kitchen tools for you to make your own food. Our italian friends Marisa and Simonetta, or Giuseppe and his wife, can also, in consultation with our guests, provide classic Tuscan dishes. We can also provide lovely fresh pizza from the wood-burn pizza oven and barbecue (only for large groups), but Giuseppe can also deliver pizza made in his own pizza oven (also for smaller groups).
Partner Sabrina is also active in the kitchen. Here she explains briefly in which way:
"Inspired by ongoing cooking classes "Alimentation Vive" by Pol Grégoire and a running course "Conseiller en Nutrition et Nutrithérapie" at Cerden in Brussels, I like to create a dish which keeps us in shape.
For the dishes which I prepare at Podere Tina, I use fresh vegetables of the season. I like to give raw food a place in my kitchen and furthermore, I cook vegetables by means of steamings. Fish and meat are also steamed, or prepared at low temperatures in the oven. I also consider nutrients, where I, for example, rather not combine protiens and carbohydrates within one and the same dish. If vegetarian dishes are wished, I can make use of dried legumes (grains are also possible) which are widely available in the region. I can prepare and cook my meals in consultation with our guests."
Wine tasting
Henri Koerhuis has a lovely wine chart from Tuscany of which a lot of are for sale in the cantina. If the guests would like to have a wine tasting, he is more than happy to help out. He has twenty years of experience with importing Tuscan wines to the Netherlands and Belgium and maintains personal relations with famous winemakers in Tuscany. His passion for wine makes that he happily does winetastings for guests on request.
