Escape the bustle of Florence and step into Maria’s beautiful countryside home for a private hands-on Tuscan cooking class. Learn to prepare traditional Italian dishes using local ingredients while discovering the flavors and traditions of Tuscan cuisine, then sit down with Maria to enjoy your homemade meal in the peaceful countryside. Maria, a recently retired architect and fun-loving Italian home cook, picks you up from the heart of Florence and shares stories about the city’s history during the short drive. In her kitchen, learn her grandmother’s traditional recipes, from handmade pasta and bruschetta to tiramisu - all of which can be adapted for vegetarian diets.
