Your experience
A cookery class held within the splendid Secret Garden, a delightful B&B in the heart of Florence just a short walk from the city centre and the main monuments, offers a unique and engaging experience, open not only to guests but also to visitors from outside.
Together with Cesarina Marzia, you’ll have the chance to get your hands dirty and prepare some of the great classics of Italian tradition: you can choose between tagliatelle or ravioli, made from scratch and served with seasonal ingredients, and finish on a sweet note with the iconic tiramisu.
All this will be accompanied by a glass of wine, to make the experience even more authentic and convivial.

- I could not recommend Marzia enough. The whole experience was so much fun, really educational and we’ve left Tuscany with incredible memories of our afternoon in her kitchen. Was the highlight of our trip.
- This hands on pasta class was a highlight of our trip! Marzia is amazing! Patient, fun, and knowledgeable. We learned to make pasta from scratch and it was delicious. She went out of her way to prepare gluten free pasta for me! The whole experience was warm, welcoming and authentically Italian! She is the best!
- Marzia was a wonderful teacher! We had a fun evening learning how to make ravioli and tagliatelle and tiramisu. She does amazing things with pasta shapes. Marzia surprised us with an appetizer of eggplant parmesan. It was one of the best things I ate while in Italy!
- Marzia was very kind and the entire experience was great. Definitely a highlight of our vacation.
- We instantly felt at home in Marzia's kitchen, and she was passionate about teaching us how to make ravioli. Marzia knew it was our anniversary and showed us how to make multi-colored ravioli -- using beetroot to create red dough, including cute little hearts! Everything from scratch ... we mixed the eggs, semolina flour, and oil. Then we kneaded the dough -- Marzia showed us the right technique. Once the dough sat, we rolled it out by hand with a rolling pin, cut different shapes, and folded various ravioli. We had fun and learned a lot. Thank you, Marzia! We will never forget the experience you provided!

Cesarina from 2021Location: Florence (FI) Languages: Italian and English"My house borders the 'di bandella' nature reserve, where the animals of the forest still live. It is a house on one floor, without architectural barriers, recently renovated: modern and equipped kitchen, guest reception room, oven wood, eat-in kitchen on the veranda outside, where we have the Pratomagno massif in the background. I have a large vegetable garden, where I try to stock up on products for the winter and lots of farm animals. When the time comes I go in search of herbs spontaneous, in order to make the filling for ravioli, and I dedicate myself to mushroom picking."
