Your Experience

Ready to put your aprons on to create a pasta dish and authentic gelato worthy of a chef’s kiss? Then this Florence cooking class should be your top pick. Learn the latest innovative techniques in Italian cooking, where ingredients are sourced from, and how environmental practices are observed.

Make Pasta From Scratch

Get ready to prepare not just one, but two popular Italian first courses and pasta-based dishes. These could be tagliatelle or spaghetti alla chitarra, ravioli, or the lesser-known but no less tasty gnudi. Once you learn how to work the dough, move on to make flavorful sauces like carbonara, pesto, or pummarola.

No Italian dinner is truly complete without dessert. Watch closely as a local chef demonstrates how to make a perfect Italian gelato. Learn how to combine different gelato flavors, heating and freezing techniques, and the places where you can find the best artisanal gelato.

After a successful cooking class, it's time to eat what you have created! Dig into your pasta and gelato complemented by fine wine to complete the experience. Rest assured that there are soft drinks for the kids as well. Before you head home, pick up your Graduation Certificate and a digital recipe booklet to show off your new Italian cooking skills.
