What to expect
You'll work hands-on in either a home kitchen or farmhouse setting, preparing three traditional Tuscan recipes with your instructor at your side. Expect to handle ingredients, ask questions, and learn the reasoning behind technique choices—why certain methods matter, what distinguishes Tuscan cooking from other Italian regions. If you've chosen the farmhouse option, you'll also explore how wheat becomes flour and bread, or tour the vegetable garden to understand seasonal produce. The session wraps around four hours; pace is relaxed and built for genuine learning, not rushing through steps.
