Shared Experience
Your experience
If you love traditional cuisine and art, I await you in my art gallery in the heart of Florence, between Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. Admire my works displayed in Italian museums and then immerse yourself in the preparation of my grandmother's secret recipe: handmade gnocchi and Tuscan ragout with fine Chianti beef. Vegetarians will also be delighted with a Farmer's Vegetable Ragout. Enjoy pleasant chat, Chianti wine and Tuscan pecorino cheese. Create with me the famous "Panzanella" of Florence, follow my step-by-step directions, you can easily replicate it at home. Finish with Cantuccini Toscani and coffee or local Vinsanto. An authentic experience between art and Tuscan culinary tradition, taste everything we have prepared together!
We had a great evening with Anna in her home learning gnocchi and Ragu. It is something we will recreate at home and remember our time in Florence.

An amazing time spent with Anna. It was like we had known her for ages and we were friends visiting to cook together. Making gnocchi, ragu and salad. Drinking good wine and chatting about art and Florence. Anna is clearly an accomplished artist and this added a very special addition to the time wd had. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful time with Anna making gnocchi, drinking wine and sharing stories. Being invited into Anna's home gave us the opportunity to get to know a little bit of Florence and the way people live in the city. Thanks for opening your home to us Anna and for sharing your gnocchi making.

Our hostess Anna was amazing! My cooking class took place in Toscana, Florence. Her kind hospitality made our cooking class experience, educational, fun, and 100% hands-on every step of the way. What a delightful day! Still talking about it. We learned about what oil to cook with and why, vegetables chosen, and most importantly, specific ingredients, such as the flour and wine. The entire experience was everything I could have asked for and more! Love Anna, she’s the best and “Grazie mille” for opening your home to us.
Can’t wait to come back! Ciao

I'm an artist passionate about cooking, especially traditional family cooking. I paint and develop my creative side in the dishes I cook. I like to transmit my grandmother's tradition of making handmade gnocchi, a simple recipe everyone can learn and replicate when back home. You'll never forget this delicious dish!
