The hands-on course
covers traditional, home-style Tuscan and Italian recipes. We
cook in a classic private apartment in central Florence to allow
students to see a little of how a typical Italian family lives,
and to allow people to step out before and after the class to
see world heritage sites such as the Duomo or take a bus ride up
to the beautiful hill station of Fiesole. The classes are held
in a friendly atmosphere and through them you’ll have the chance
to learn a few secrets from Simonetta and Paola. We cook and eat
dishes prepared using fresh, natural and organic ingredients. A
complete meal (4 recipes) such as appetizers, a pasta dish, a
vegetable or meat dish and then a dessert is prepared every day
and is accompanied by the wine which best complements it.“I spent one week with Simonetta. We went to the market to see what was available. We cooked pasta, beans, sauces, focaccia, vegetables and salads. I learned home cooking, Italian style, in a very relaxing, interesting and fun space. A family who have always considered fresh best. A family with gobs of Italian history. I can't wait to go back and take another week's course in their countryside house. You can also study the Italian language. The herbs we used in the Florence cooking lessons were from their family farm.” From TripAdvisor
