Deluxe Cooking Class in a Historic Florentine Palace

This experience takes place in a beautiful 17th-century historic palace in the heart of Florence, home to a professional cooking academy with an elegant dining room featuring a vaulted ceiling. Here, under the guidance of an experienced chef, you will take part in a hands-on cooking class designed to immerse you in the authentic traditions of Italian cuisine.

During the class, you will prepare a complete four-course Italian menu, starting with an aperitif, followed by a first course of fresh handmade pasta, which may be served with a traditional sauce or, depending on the season, as delicious stuffed ravioli. You will then cook a meat-based second course and finish with a classic Italian dessert, such as tiramisu or panna cotta. A typical menu might include dishes like eggplant pie, ricotta and spinach ravioli, chicken with peppers, and panna cotta.

All ingredients are fresh, seasonal, and selected daily by the chefs, ensuring the highest quality. The chef will guide you step by step, sharing professional techniques and culinary secrets, while you actively take part in every phase of preparation in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like a real Italian chef.

Once the cooking is complete, you will enjoy the tasting of the dishes you have prepared, accompanied by water and carefully selected Tuscan wine, learning how proper food and wine pairing enhances flavors and creates unforgettable meals. The experience encourages conversation and sharing with the chef and fellow participants, reflecting the true spirit of Italian cuisine.

At the end of the class, you will receive all the recipes and a cookbook of the dishes prepared, allowing you to recreate this four-course Italian menu at home and take with you a lasting memory of your culinary experience in Florence.
