Overview

This small-group cooking class and market tour in Florence takes about five hours and is led by professional chefs. The tour begins at the Central Market, where the chefs guide you through local seasonal products and Tuscan specialties. You will taste typical items as you learn about the ingredients that shape Italian food traditions. After the market visit, you return to the kitchen for a fully hands-on cooking session. You prepare Nonna’s authentic Sunday lasagna from scratch, including fresh pasta dough, Bolognese ragù, and béchamel sauce. Then you make a classic tiramisù using a traditional Italian family recipe. The class provides all professional tools and fresh organic ingredients. When the cooking is done, you enjoy the lasagna and tiramisù you made in a friendly atmosphere paired with a curated selection of Tuscan wines and one traditional dessert wine. You also receive a digital recipe booklet so you can recreate these dishes at home. Vegetarian options are available if requested in advance. If the Central Market is closed on Sundays or bank holidays, the market visit is replaced by extra tastings and an introduction at the cooking school. Children and teens under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Pets are not allowed. The class is not suitable for people with celiac disease, and dishes contain eggs that cannot be removed.
