Florentine Cooking Class with Market Visit

Start your morning at the bustling San Lorenzo Market, where your chef guide helps you select the freshest seasonal ingredients: ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, handmade pasta sheets, and locally produced olive oil. Back in the kitchen, roll up your sleeves and learn to make four authentic Tuscan dishes from scratch. Under the patient guidance of your local chef, you will prepare fresh pasta by hand (tagliatelle, pappardelle, or ravioli depending on the season), a classic Tuscan ribollita or pappa al pomodoro, a main course such as chicken cacciatore, and a traditional dessert like tiramisu or panna cotta. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with Italian wine flowing as you cook. Once everything is ready, sit down together and enjoy the fruits of your labour over a long, leisurely lunch. You will take home printed recipe cards so you can recreate each dish in your own kitchen.
