Take a Day Cooking Class With Us
Join us for fun and food. One of the most interesting and fascinating experiences in Tuscany is taking part in a private cooking class. Tuscan cuisine is based on recipes belonging to rooted traditions. We give you the opportunity to discover all the secrets of Tuscan food in an entertaining and informative private cooking class organized especially for you in our kitchen.
Our classes are fun! We call them culinary experiences–much more than a class!
Our 400-year old kitchen dates to the times when the local farmers used our kitchen as the central place to prepare meals for their families. The duration of our classes ranges from 2 to 3 hours and ends with you sitting at the table and enjoying the delicacies you have prepared. The class is designed around a typical Tuscan meal with fresh local in-season ingredients and is taught in English in our kitchen. Our classes are not only informative, but they are fun!
Come prepared to laugh, dance, drink Italian wine, and learn the secrets of our kitchen!
We can usually arrange our classes around your schedule. Prepare and cook a four-course meal of an antipasti (appetizer), a primo piatto (first dish) of pasta, a secondo piatto (second dish) and finally a dolce (desert). Oh, and did we mention you also make fresh Biscotti and Cantucci?
And yes, of course we always roll pasta! Our Secret? Music and Dancing!
