Experience Details

More than just a cooking class, our Tuscan Cooking Experience goes one step further. Visit to the San Lorenzo Market with our guide and buy some fresh vegetables and all the necessary for our cooking class.


Our philosophy focuses on tradition and getting back to the roots of authentic Florentine cuisine. As such, we will share some of the recipes passed down through generations of our family. Furthermore, we will give you insights into the cooking techniques that with respect to tradition enhance and highlight the quality and flavors inherent in the ingredients.


Together we will prepare a four-course meal; appetizer, handmade pasta, main course and dessert. The menu will be based on seasonal traditions and the availability of fresh produce.


In the end, sit, relax and enjoy the meal you prepared.
