Overview

This Florence cooking class takes place in a gorgeous countryside home owned by Maria, a retired Italian cook. The experience lasts about four hours and begins with round-trip transport for up to six guests from a central location in Florence to Maria's home by car. During the drive, Maria shares stories about Florence. Once at the countryside home, the private class happens in Maria's kitchen, where she teaches guests how to prepare two to three traditional Tuscan dishes using techniques that can be easily repeated at home. Guests choose from pasta sauces including ragu, broccoli pesto, arrabbiata, or butter and sage with parmesan cream. After cooking, participants eat the meal together with Maria in her home. Alcoholic beverages are included. Guests can opt to add a guided tour of San Lorenzo market, Florence’s historic food market, before the cooking class. The class welcomes vegetarians and guests with dietary preferences but is not suitable for gluten-free diets. Groups larger than six must arrange separate transport for additional guests. The countryside home does not have air conditioning and has a cat. The menu may vary depending on the season. Markets are closed on Sundays and public holidays.
