Feel the city’s pulse at the Central Market. Guided by our expert chefs, you’ll shop like a local, selecting seasonal ingredients that define Italy’s UNESCO-recognized food heritage. In this small group, you’ll discover that the secret to our tradition lies in the purity of raw materials and authentic regional tastings.
Roll up your sleeves to master the authentic recipe of Nonna’s Sunday Lasagna. From kneading fresh dough to layering velvety béchamel, this 100% hands-on experience brings the "holy grail" of Italian homes to life. You’ll also whisk a classic Tiramisù, creating a treasure worthy of its UNESCO status.
Savor your creations with a fine Chianti wine. Join us, the pioneers who launched THE ORIGINAL COOKING CLASS IN FLORENCE 20 years ago for a journey into the heart of tradition, where every detail in our small group feels like home.
