Tuscan cooking lessons

Florence, Italy Cooking Schools

Activity/Tour

Barbara Bartolotta and Valentina Lami, your chefs for this program, are expert Italian cooks and talian language teachers with extensive experience. They offer an introduction to preparing-and eating-traditional dishes along with the appropriate wines. Classes may be scheduled for any date with a two-day advance notice, and can be conducted in your native language. Lessons begin at 16:00. After assisting in the preparation of dishes, you sit at a table and at 18:30/19:00 you have dinner, enjoying your creations with the correct wines. The location for our cooking lessons is in Piazza D'Azeglio 20 in Florence, a few meters from S. Croce Cathedral and the Ancient Food Market of S. Ambrogio.

Rates

During your dinner we serve good quality Tuscan wines, included in the price.
