Cooking Classes

Personalized recommendations for hands-on culinary adventures with trusted local chefs

Looking to roll up your sleeves and cook like a true Tuscan? I work closely with a trusted network of chefs and culinary hosts in Florence and the surrounding countryside to match you with the perfect cooking experience. Whether you envision crafting wood-fired pizza in a scenic farmhouse, learning rustic family recipes in a Florentine kitchen, or indulging in a refined, multi-course fine dining class, I’ll help you find the ideal fit. Each experience is led by passionate locals who bring regional traditions to life through hands-on learning, warm hospitality, and unforgettable flavors.

Florence offers and overwhelming amount of pasta classes and cooking experiences, but with my local insight and trusted network, you can bypass the tourist traps and enjoy only the most authentic, high-quality culinary experiences the region has to offer.
