Description

THE ORIGINAL FLORENCE COOKING CLASS WITH MARKET TOUR Taste the essence of Tuscany in Florence’s most popular cooking class! Guided by our passionate local chefs, you’ll discover Italian food traditions from market to table, and learn to prepare authentic recipes you can recreate at home. Explore Florence’s Central Market Begin your journey in the lively Central Market, where colors, scents, and flavors fill the air. Wander through bustling stalls overflowing with seasonal fruits, fresh vegetables, artisanal cheeses, olive oils, pastries, and more. Pause at the butcher to choose quality cuts of meat, sample regional specialties, and discover how Italians select the very best ingredients for their meals. Cook a Traditional Tuscan Feast Back at our welcoming cooking school, it’s time to get hands-on. Under the guidance of your chef, roll and cut fresh tagliatelle, stir a slow-simmered ragù, and craft ravioli with a delicate tomato sauce. Finally, layer mascarpone, cocoa, and coffee into a classic tiramisù—Italy’s most loved dessert. Savor Tuscany Together Sit down around the table and enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared, paired with endless pours of local Chianti wine. The laughter, aromas, and flavors make this more than a meal—it’s a shared Tuscan memory. At the end, celebrate your achievement with a graduation certificate and take home a digital recipe booklet so you can bring Florence back to your own kitchen. ✨ COMING IN MARCH 2026: This experience will be upgraded to The Original Cooking Class with NONNA'S LASAGNA & Local Market Tour.

Please note: guests booking dates before March 2026 will enjoy the current cooking class inclusions listed above. ✨ NOT ENOUGH TIME? NO WORRIES!
