Learn the Italian cuisine in Florence (small group)

• Visit the Central Market in Florence (except on Sundays or holidays)
• Learn how to prepare home-made pasta... and more!
• Eat your lunch while tasting some wine
• Get your recipes booklet and a graduation certificate

Food is a very important aspect in the Tuscan and Italian culture. The Florentine cuisine is based on fresh, seasonal products, with vegetables, meat and - of course -  home-made pasta. Learn to cook as a local with a cooking course that will take you through all the steps of preparing a meal: from shopping at the market to tasting at the table.

So, we will start doing shopping at the Central Market with a chef who will help you to choose the right ingredients and those of better quality. You will also taste some food and wine.

Then it will be the time to go to the kitchen and cook what you've bought at the market. Under the expert guidance of the chef, you will create a menu based on fresh, seasonal ingredients such as "bruschetta", home-made pasta (tagliatelle or ravioli), the sauce and a dessert.

Then you will taste everything (you’d better be an attentive student during the preparation!), all together, because in Italy food is conviviality, and accompanied by two glasses of Chianti wine.

At the end you will receive your graduation certificate and a recipe booklet so you will be able to cook the recipes of the Italian cuisine also at home.
