Begin your Florence cooking class in your local host Cinzia's home with a freshly prepared Tuscan appetizer! Then roll up your sleeves and learn to cook regional Italian pasta from recipes passed down through generations of Cinzia’s family during a hands-on Tuscan cooking class. Choose when making your booking between a cooking menu that includes either three handmade pastas and sauces (cut pasta such as pappardelle or tagliatelli, stuffed pasta such as tortellini and gnocchi) or one pasta and a meat main course. You will also learn to create a seasonal side vegetable or dessert with either menu. End your meal with a traditional Italian dessert you’ve created such as a tiramisu, panna cotta or brutti ma buoni ("ugly but good") biscuit and hazelnut dessert. Enjoy learning about the tricks and techniques involved in cooking Italian family recipes before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare. Your meal includes prosecco and wine. Please note that Cinzia can host a max of 6-7 guests in her kitchen. If there are 8 or more guests, she hosts at a different venue in Florence. She will send you the exact address upon booking confirmation for larger groups.
