Tuscan cooking group lessons |
Our chefs will guide you in a fine dance around flavours and tastes, offering an introduction to preparing-and eating-traditional dishes along with the appropriate wines. Menus are flexible and follow seasonal products. The lessons are offered at our centre in Florence downtown, at Casa della Creatività in the S.Maria Maggiore Closter.
Classes are scheduled for any Monday and are conducted in English and Italian language. You can book your participation with a two-day advance notice. You may take one lesson or combine them to fashion a program to your interests. Lessons begin at 16:00. After assisting in the preparation of dishes, you sit at a table and at 18:30 you have dinner, enjoying your creations with the correct wines.
