Wanna Be Italiano! – Florence Cooking Class

This fantastic 'hands-on' experience is a great way to learn more about Tuscan cuisine. Help prepare a traditional four-course Tuscan lunch with Chef Giovanni and then sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labour accompanied by great local wines.
 
After metting your guide, your experience starts with a visit to the central market to pick up the ingredients for your delicious lunch. You will meet the butchers, the bakers, and the farmers selling vegetables from their gardens. You will learn how to distinguish the highest quality ingredients and as an added bonus, how to bargain! Then head to chef Giovanni's home for your cooking class. Let the chef invite you into his place and be your special host. You will cook and eat as you chat about stories of food, traditions, wines and art whilst enjoying some of the finest wines, listening to music, seating at the table, or on the sofa, in the most relaxed atmosphere.
 
Classes are small and intimate and everyone helps prepare the menu which includes bruschettas, pasta or risotto, main traditional dish with sides and a very special dessert. The menu may vary slightly depending on the season and the fresh ingredients available. At the end, stay as long as you want to enjoy the real Italian atmosphere of being at a true Italian table, with your new friends.
