Private Tuscan Pasta Making Class and Dinner with a Local Expert in Florence

Enjoy your cooking class at a local's home. In the summer, you might get to see their small vegetable and herb garden in the courtyard where they grow zucchini, tomatoes and basil and pick a few herbs for your meal. In a light-filled space designed for cooking classes, Cinzia will first prepare a Tuscan appetizer for your to enjoy. Then roll up your sleeves and learn to cook regional Italian pasta from recipes passed down through generations of Cinzia’s family in a hands-on Italian cooking class. Choose between a cooking menu that includes either three handmade pastas and sauces (which might include pastas such as pappardelle, tagliatelli, tortellini or gnocchi) or a pasta and meat main course. You will also learn to create a seasonal side vegetable and dessert with both menus. End your meal with a traditional Italian dessert you’ve created such as a tiramisu, panna cotta or brutti ma buoni ("ugly but good") biscuit and hazelnut dessert. Enjoy learning about the tricks and techniques involved in cooking Italian family recipes before you sit down at the table to share the meal you helped prepare with Cinzia.
