Full description
You will start your incredible food tour in the city center. From there you will be able to explore different locations where you can taste local and fine products. Following your professional and passionate chef, you will stroll through the old town discovering the fascinating and historic "Bottegas", where you will learn about and taste some typical gourmet Tuscan products, as well as buying some of the freshest ingredients you will need for the recipes in your cooking class.
You will then reach the incredible and exclusive location for your hands-on cooking class, right in the heart of Florence. You will begin by donning your apron before listening to your chef, as in a matter of minutes it will be you who will be the one chopping, mixing, kneading, and surprising yourself as you prepare a delicious lunch. The menu may slightly vary depending on the season and the fresh ingredients available, but it will consist of items such as home-made pasta (such as potato gnocchi) with a hand-made pesto sauce. Your second dish will be a delicious eggplant parmigiana, before you finally prepare your own dessert.
You will then enjoy your delicious creations as you taste some fine Tuscan wines. Whether you are a beginner or an expert with the apron, this small-group cooking class will ensure a personalized experience from your chef while you enjoy friendly company, and will let you learn recipes and secrets that you can bring home with you to surprise your friends with a true Italian meal.
