Itinerary
Your tour begins in central Florence
Meet your chef and small group at CiaoFoodies Hub in central Florence. Settle in, grab your apron, and get a quick overview of what you'll cook, from handmade pasta to classic tiramisù.
Shop for ingredients at Sant'Ambrogio Market
In the morning class, follow the chef through Sant'Ambrogio Market to pick seasonal produce and local staples. You'll see how Florentines shop, then head back to the kitchen.
Start the sauces: ragù and tomato
Back at the trattoria, get the pots going first so flavors have time to develop. The chef walks you through timing, seasoning, and technique so your ragù and tomato sauce are ready when the pasta hits the water.
Knead fresh pasta dough with eggs and flour
Roll up your sleeves and mix the simplest ingredients into silky dough. Learn how to read texture by feel, then let it rest while you prep the next course, so it rolls cleanly and cooks with the right bite.
Make tiramisù and snack on Tuscan appetizers
Move to the sweet course and build a creamy mascarpone mixture step by step. While it chills, enjoy Tuscan appetizers and hear a few stories about Italy's long culinary tradition from the chef as you reset for pasta shaping.
Shape tagliatelle and ricotta-and-spinach ravioli
Roll, cut, and fill your dough into two classics: ribbons of tagliatelle and ricotta-and-spinach ravioli. Once cooked and sauced, sit down to the meal you made and enjoy it with house wine or a non-alcoholic alternative.
Your tour ends at the kitchen in central Florence
Finish where you started, full and proud of what you've made. Before you go, collect your participation certificate and take-home recipe booklet, so you can recreate Florence flavors in your own kitchen.
