Florence Cooking Classes

RECOMMENDATION Keywords:
Cultural Experience, Good Place to Eat

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.

This class was a definite highlight of Florence. The market experience was wonderful and the recipes were absolutely phenomenal. We learned a lot about cooking and Italian culture from Giuseppe and Andreas who were very fun and upbeat teachers.

Doing what: Florence Cooking Course and Local Market Visit

I have always loved to cook, but I have always had a soft spot in my kitchen for Italian food! After I visited the market, I had a full appreciation for Italians and the love they put into growing their food. The class was so informative and the guide gave us tips to use that day and for the years to come. It was the highlight of my trip to Florence!
