About this tour
A three-hour cooking class in a Florentine home where you'll learn to prepare three signature dishes of the region alongside your host, a member of Le Cesarine network of home cooks across Italy. You'll cook at your own station, then sit down to eat what you've made with local wines. It's a working lunch rather than a performance—you're doing the cooking, not watching someone else do it.
Highlights
- Cook three authentic Florentine recipes from scratch
- Work at your own station with full ingredient set
- Eat your creations with red and white local wines
- Learn techniques directly from a home cook
- Includes water, coffee and tastings
What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home and be given a workstation with all tools and ingredients laid out. Expect to spend the first two hours on your feet, following along as your Cesarina walks you through three classic Florentine dishes. She'll show you the techniques rather than just tell you—how to handle the pasta, when to know something's cooked through, the small adjustments that matter. Once you've finished cooking, you'll clear your workspace and gather at the table to taste everything alongside wines sourced locally. Conversation typically happens here, so come ready to chat.
Good to know
Public transport nearby makes it accessible. Hand-washing stations and sanitiser are available. The host requests you maintain reasonable distance during cooking, or wear masks and gloves if space is tight. Three hours total, so plan accordingly if you have other activities that day.
