Overview

Step into a kitchen inspired by Italian nonnas, where every dish is prepared with the warmth of family tradition. Begin your day exploring Florence’s Central Market, guided by a local chef. Meet butchers, greengrocers, and artisan producers, tasting local specialties that define Tuscan kitchens, from cheeses and cured meats to olive oils and truffle treats. Back in our cozy kitchen, you’ll cook side by side with our chefs, just like in Nonna Wilma’s home. Learn how she made handmade pasta, seasoned it with fresh sauces, and finished with classic tiramisù. Every step celebrates simple ingredients and the joy of cooking together. Once your meal is ready, gather around the table to enjoy your creations with local Chianti wine, sharing the true spirit of Italian family dining. Take the taste of Tuscany home with you: every guest receives a digital recipe booklet and a certificate. Numbers are limited for this small-group class to ensure a personalized experience.
