Summary

First, learn how to grow organic vegetables exploring our little garden with the chef and, if available, picking the freshest vegetable ingredients and Tuscan herbs, right from the plants. What you will pick will depend on the season. Everyone will be able to prepare his/her own home-made Pizza from scratch: first you'll prepare the dough. While it rests a little while, you'll learn about Gelato (Italian Ice-Cream) making and its origins, and observe a demonstration of home-made gelato preparation.
