Tuscany Pizza or Pasta and Gelato Cooking Class From Florence
Make your own way to a centrally located meeting spot and transfer by coach to a private estate situated in the hills above Florence. Start your culinary experience with a tasting of a traditional focaccia appetizer accompanied by a glass of Chianti wine. Next your chef-instructor shows you how to make pasta or pizza dough, and explains regional variations. For pasta makers, roll up your sleeves and get to work creating three types of fresh pasta from scratch, and recreate iconic sauces including Pesto, Carbonara, Amatriciana and Cacio e Pepe. For pizza makers, after preparing the dough, select the topping ingredients that you like from the assortment of fresh vegetables harvested from the estate gardens. Your pizza is then baked traditional-style in the wood oven. For dessert, learn to make a creamy gelato that can be accompanied by toppings and sauces. When ready, sit down to enjoy the fruit of your labour accompanied by wine or beer. Your culinary experience ends with a return trip to your starting point in Florence.

Summary:
We had a wonderful afternoon with a beautiful ride to a quiet farmhouse. Luca had us all laughing throughout the day and Eleanora was so sweet. All of the chefs that helped were very kind and we had a perfect meal and the experience couldn’t have been better. Perfect day to spend away from Florence and even got a little rain which helped cool all of us off! This was the highlight of our trip in Italy for our 9 and 12 year old children, along with us too! Thank you very much. Luca, I can’t thank you enough for always building my ego up and telling me I am the best!
