Florence Cooking Classes

Written by Viator, August 2010

RECOMMENDATION Keywords:

Italians are known for their food, and each province has its specialties. But Florence is widely hailed for its Tuscan-style cuisine, seemingly sent from Heaven itself. And while eating out is a singular pleasure, it can get expensive and leave you with no inkling of the time and preparation put into your dish. Why not play chef, take a class, and find out for yourself what goes into these remarkable meals?

The Italians are borderline fanatics about their passion for cooking, and have been known to argue for eyebrow-raising amounts of time over a decision as seemingly simple as which brand of pasta is best for a Bolognese. What defines these weighty decisions will be made clear to you in a Handmade Pasta Cooking Class, where you’ll learn the ancient art as it was meant to be taught.

The marketplace is the first step to any good meal, and so knowing which food and how to select it is as important as cooking it. A guided cooking course and market visit will send you in the right direction, while alternatively, an overall food appreciation course is a good way to know the fruits of well-loved labor.

Doing what: Tuscan Cooking Class and Dinner in Florence

We had so much fun cooking with our small group. The instructor was easy going with a great sense of humor. She was patient, and informative, and we then shared a wonderful, Italian meal. I would do it again when I return to Florence.

Doing what: Small-Group Italian Cooking Class in Florence

This was one of the coolest things we got to try in Florence. All of our friends flipped when we told them we can make tiramisu from scratch. The class was long but wonderful fun and ends with a great dinner (that you just made). I highly recommend it.
