From the trip to the market. Right through the end of the cooking class, everything was terrific. Teaching about cuts of meat, to olive oil and balsamic tasting. And then the process of making and eating meals with those and teaching and taking part was fun and engaging.

After several days of walking through European cities, my family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed spending a relaxing day in our cooking class in Florence. Our chef, Alice, was amazing - friendly, knowledgeable, patient and fun! The market visit was a great way to start the class and learn more about Italian meats, vegetables and, of course, olive oils! Once we started cooking, the time flew by as we learned how to make fresh pasta, ravioli and tiramisu. The best part was eating our delicious meal and toasting with wine to a day well-spent. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Florence and looking for a unique experience.

This adventure was beyond my expectations! I learned so much Chef and will incorporate the small techniques shown in to my own cooking at home. We made wonderful sauces and homemade pasta and tiramisu. Tommas was a wonderful and pleasant teacher. Would recommend this school & class to anyone wanting this type of experience.
