Description
Is it advisable to enroll in a cooking class while in Italy? Only at the most renowned and authentic cooking class located in Florence! Our esteemed local chefs will ensure that you master the preparation of Italian classics with remarkable speed.
Acquire the finest produce from the Florence Market, guided by a local chef.
The initial item on the agenda is a stroll to the market in Florence to gather the ingredients needed for your lunch preparation. Engage with the butchers, bakers, and farmers who offer vegetables cultivated in their own gardens. Accompanied by a personable and engaging chef, you will be assisted in locating the finest quality ingredients available at the market. We also welcome vegetarians; however, please inform us in advance.
Prepare a delightful Tuscan cuisine in the very center of Florence
Once you have gathered all the necessary fresh ingredients, you will proceed to a professional kitchen located just a short distance away. Prior to beginning the preparation of your lunch, you will partake in a delightful tasting of local products. Following this, under the skilled instruction of our chefs, you will acquire the knowledge to create a three-course meal. While the menus change with the seasons, they typically include a starter of bruschetta, followed by a fresh pasta dish, such as ravioli or tagliatelle, and concluding with a dessert.
Recreate the Tuscan recipes repeatedly in the comfort of your home
Upon completing the preparation of your meal, you will, of course, have the opportunity to enjoy it alongside an unlimited supply of Chianti wine. Attending a cooking school in Tuscany, Italy would lack purpose if you could not return home to impress your friends and family with the skills you have acquired. After a delightful experience and a satisfying meal, you will depart with both a booklet of recipes and a certificate of graduation. If you choose to visit on a Sunday or a bank holiday, when the Central Market is closed, the cooking school will provide a special introduction along with additional tastings as an alternative.
