Wouldn’t it be great to impress them with a typical Italian meal you cooked yourself? Join our professional cooking class! You will gain unique techniques and the best tips to make a perfect Italian meal! The class will start with a visit to the market: our Italian chef will help you choose the best ingredients. Once you get everything you need you’ll reach the cooking school where you’ll start to prepare the meal. During the four-hour lesson, you will prepare a full Italian meal, from appetizer to dessert. We will first prepare all the needed ingredients by washing and cutting them.

You will also cook the sauce (Tomato, Ragù Bolognese or Pesto), ‘bruschetta’ as a starter, as well as a dessert! Our chef will show you how to decorate your plate and you will finally have lunch with the amazing dishes you made. Lunch will be accompanied by a local wine, water, or soft drink as you prefer. At the end of the class, you will also get a Participation Certificate signed by the chef, as well as the recipes for the dishes you made. Then you can go home and show off to all your friends and families your great Italian cooking skills. In the end, you will be driven back to the departure place in the center of Florence.
