Let a local chef guide you through this vibrant, off-the-beaten-path market and taste local street food specialties, before heading to a cozy kitchen where you’ll prepare and taste a traditional 3-course Tuscan meal.

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.
