Description

Master Two Italian Culinary Icons in Historic Florence Immerse yourself in the authentic art of Italian cooking as you discover how to create two beloved classics—traditional lasagna and handmade spaghetti—in a captivating cooking class set in Florence's enchanting historic center. The Culinary Journey Begin by crafting the perfect béchamel sauce, skillfully combining creamy milk, rich butter, fine flour, salt, and aromatic nutmeg. Watch as this silky white sauce harmoniously melds with bolognese ragú and your own hand-rolled pasta sheets to create an irresistible, traditional lasagna that embodies generations of Italian family recipes. Next, master the delicate technique of making fresh spaghetti from scratch, paired with an authentic 'pummarola'—a vibrant, slow-simmered tomato sauce that captures the essence of Italian sunshine in every spoonful. The Italian Experience After preparing your culinary masterpieces, participate in the time-honored tradition of setting the table together before gathering around to savor your handcrafted creations. Each bite will be perfectly complemented by carefully our selected local organic red wine that enhances the authentic flavors you've created. The experience culminates with an indulgent chocolate dessert accompanied by a traditional shot of limoncello, providing the perfect sweet finale to your Italian culinary adventure. Take Home the Tradition You'll receive beautifully a detailed recipe booklet in English, ensuring you can recreate these authentic dishes and share the magic of Italian cooking with family and friends in your own kitchen. This isn't just a cooking class—it's your gateway to understanding the soul of Italian cuisine in the heart of Renaissance Florence.
