This five-hour cooking class takes place at a centuries-old olive mill located in the countryside near Montecatini Terme. The session begins with a guided visit to a local market where Chef Giuseppe, who has taught cooking classes in Italy, North America, the Caribbean, and Mexico, helps participants select fresh ingredients for the meal. After the market visit, participants return to the olive mill to taste Tuscan specialties including prosecco, local cheese, olive oil, and honey. The hands-on cooking class involves preparing a four-course meal consisting of an appetizer, two main courses, and a dessert. Regional wines from smaller producers are served during the meal, chosen by Chef Giuseppe, who is a member of the Italian Sommelier Association. Included in the class are a recipe booklet authored by Giuseppe, bottled water, and Nespresso coffee. Adults receive an Extra Virgin Cooking Class apron and a certificate of achievement at the end. The class accommodates up to 14 people, requires a minimum of six participants, and is open to individuals aged 16 and older.

Itinerary
After 7 years as the #1 cooking program in Lucca, we are returning to the family roots in the countryside olive press. This is Chef Giuseppe's ancestral home. We will meet in town and enjoy the weekly market, before proceeding to the Olive Oil Mill where we will begin our preparations with hearthside cooking, a pizza oven and a charming country setting where Tuscan wildlife abounds. The mill is adjacent to a babbling brook and 12th century stone bridge just a short 10' drive from the centre of Montecatini. The train stop is 30' from either Florence or Lucca. After class explore the heritage spa town with its iconic pastry shops, original wood funicular and excellent shopping.
