Gourmet Cooking lessons are a hands-on experience in a small group, allowing you to create and enjoy dishes that you can bring into your daily life. When you go back home, you will be able to easily follow the steps and get excellent results, reliving the experience of Italian cooking.
This course is great for couples, small groups, families with children from 7 years or older, and those who want to have fun in the kitchen learning how to cook traditional Florentine and Italian dishes.
In a practical way, the Chef will demonstrate each to be replicated at your station, to make single-serving dishes from the menu. At the end, you will enjoy the authentic dishes you created, accompanied by a D.O.C. Tuscan wine in the Florentine style wine cellar, dating back to 1300- 1400 A.D.
