An excellent, authentic Tuscan cooking experience

This was a super fun hands on activity! It was great to make an entire dinner from scratch and then sit down and eat it. Francesco was excellent. We are excited to go back home and make these dishes again. Definitely a 5 star excursion!

Great Tuscan Cook Class

A very fun cooking class - we made a full 4 course meal with soup, pasta, main course and dessert. I liked that it was around dinner time so we got to eat the yummy food we made for dinner. The class was a good pace, the instructions were clear and the food was fantastic - definitely recommend :)
