Enjoy the fantastic experience of learning our Chefs’ secrets on Italian cooking in an intimate and friendly atmosphere with this small-group cooking class in a Tuscan Farmhouse!
Your day begins with a short walk to city center and visit Florence Farmers’ Market. Discover all its beautiful colors and authenticity, getting to know the butchers, bakers and farmers where Florentines shop. You will have different tastings of typical products and buy some of the fresh ingredients you will need for the cooking class.
In the comfort of our minivan, you will then reach our fascinating farmhouse, immersed in the green of the Tuscan countryside, away from the busy city center. Here you will have the opportunity to express your culinary art under the attentive guidance of the Chef.
As you explore the garden you will understand how to grow organic vegetables. Our chef will direct you to pick the freshest vegetable and herbs. The menu is based on the season, and may vary slightly and ingredients available. Therefore the fresh vegetables and herbs picked from the garden will also depend on the season. Your menu will usually include also two different types of home-made pasta from scratch (i.e. pappardelle and ravioli) and a dessert.
The class will end with a delicious lunch that will prove your improved skills in the kitchen, accompanied by tastings of different wines and a final typical Tuscan dessert wine.
After your delicious Tuscan lunch, you will visit the small producing cellar of a boutique winery, and learn a bit about wine production.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert with the apron, this small-group cooking class will ensure a personalized experience from the Chef while letting you enjoy friendly company, and learn recipes and secrets that you can bring home with you to surprise your friends with a true Italian meal! And all of this in the enchanting Chianti countryside, home of the world-famous Chianti wine.
And, last but not least, get your Graduation Certificate! A booklet that includes the recipes you cooked, will be our present so that when you return home, you can cook a fantastic Italian dinner for your friends and family.
