Doing what: Florence Cooking Course and Local Market Visit

ok, the market tour was interesting, although not accommodating at all to the several people in the group who were having trouble standing for 2 hours on concrete floors. and speaking of the group, although it was supposed to be limited to 12, there were 26 and since one of the chefs didn't show up it was 1) hard to hear in the market and 2) hard to get the attention of the remaining chef who was running between 2 kitchens for the cooking portion. The chef, was personable; his english was perfect, and he was forthcoming about the restaurants in town and the menus we would encounter. however, the menu we cooked was totally boring and not very florence-specific. bruschetta (without garlic, so very bland) and a pasta with eggplant and tomato, which was ok, and a very bland meatball/meatloaf. the panna cotta was the highlight of the meal. when our table ran out of wine after 1 glass he didn't offer more, and it was all white wine, which i don't usually drink, particularly with red meat. so all in all pretty disappointing. i would not recommend this cooking class to a friend

The Tuscan Cooking Class was quite an experience! The guide was very easy to find, in a pretty central area of Florence. Then we were lead into the school where there were 4 cooking stations. I thought the group was a bit large for such a small space. There were 6-7 participants at each station so I felt like we were sort of packed in there. Also, we started with 2 chefs but then they started another group in a back kitchen, so were down to 1 chef for about 25 people. There were certainly times when we didn't know what to do next. However, our chef was outstanding and very knowledgeable. We had a great time kidding him and he took it well. The food we made was amazing and I feel absolutely comfortable in my ability to recreate it.I wasn't 100% pleased, but I would book it again.

My husband and I have been to other cooking classes in both Rome and Florence, and this one just didn't measure up to any other one.
First, it was suppose to be 4 to 5 hours long (with the preparing and the eating). We were out in 2 hours! It was also suppose to have a 'wine pairing' with what we prepared. It had one bottle of red wine per table only- never even discussed.
It was very rushed, and the food was not very good either. In fact, we went home hungry.
Save the $93 each, and go to a good restaurant!
