What You’ll Experience

Begin your Florentine culinary journey with Costanza in her lush garden filled with olive and fruit laden trees, aromatic herbs and a huge vegetable garden. She and her family grow seasonal vegetables from leeks, brassicas and fennel in the winter to tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini in the summer and tries to use as much of their own produce in their cooking. Pick some of the fresh seasonal vegetables that you might use in your Florence cooking class. With a basket of vegetables in hand, enter her family’s beautiful, spacious kitchen to learn to cook a seasonal Florentine meal from scratch. Enjoy a cup of hot coffee or tea before rolling up your sleeves to begin your hands-on cooking class in Florence. Learn to cook an appetizer, first course and dessert from scratch. Your cooking lesson will last about three and half hours which includes a break for a glass of wine and a snack. Enjoy recreating Costanza's family’s recipes before you sit down at a formal dining table to share the meal you helped prepare. Please note that because Costanza sometimes has guests staying in their B&B they may be present during your meal and cooking experience, hence the experience will not be private.
