Product Info

-What you can expect-
Join a **truly Italian cooking class** for the most **authentic experience** in Florence. This is the **first and original experience of its kind in Italy**, a deep dive into the culinary heart of the Mediterranean. Your journey begins at the historic Central Market, where the daily ritual of the Italian "spesa" unfolds. Alongside our expert chefs, you’ll navigate a sea of colours and aromas, learning to spot the freshest seasonal ingredients and enjoying genuine tastings of regional specialities. This isn’t just shopping; it’s an energetic introduction to the flavours you’re about to transform into a masterpiece.

Back in our kitchen, it’s time to roll up your sleeves for a **100% hands-on** masterclass. No demonstrations—just you, the flour, and the tradition. You will master the "holy grails" of Italian cuisine: **Nonna’s Sunday Lasagna** and authentic **Tiramisù**. Feel the golden dough take shape as you knead it and learn the art of layering velvety béchamel and rich ragù, techniques recently recognised by **UNESCO** as Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The experience culminates around a shared table, just like a Sunday at Nonna’s. Savour the dishes you created from scratch, perfectly paired with a selection of fine **Chianti wine** in a festive, convivial atmosphere. You’ll leave with an official graduation certificate and a **digital recipe booklet** to recreate the magic at home. Choose the pioneers who launched **Florence’s first cooking class 20 years ago** for a memory that feels like home.
