Your experience
Hunter's style chicken
Handmade pasta with seasonal sauce
Seadas (fried dessert made from semolina, pecorino cheese and honey)
I invite you to the heart of Florence's historic center to share together an extraordinary culinary experience, a cooking course that awakens the scents of Italy and brings Florentine traditional recipes back to life. We start with hunter's style chicken, a robust and savory dish that smells of woods and adventures. We then move on to fresh pasta, entirely handmade as it once was, topped with a sauce of seasonal vegetables, fresh and organic, which narrate the rhythm of nature. And to end in beauty, we will prepare together seadas, a typical dessert from Sardinia. I am waiting for you in my kitchen, ready for a journey into the flavors and scents of Italy?
Francesca was the dream host. She immediately immersed us in the ultimate every day of an Italian. We shared Prosecco, culinary techniques, and stories of home. The food was as loyal to Italian cuisine as I could ever imagine, and we still make her personal recipes to this day. Francesca - we love you! You hold such a special place in our hearts. You made our experience so special. Give bobo extra treats for us. - The Dellasega’s and the Overath’s

Francesca was absolutely wonderful; we had an amazing experience. She was so charismatic, kind, and patient with us. We loved our trip to Florence because of this cooking class. Her talent and love for the art of cooking is incredibly inspiring to watch and see in action.

Francesca was just the most wonderful, kind, knowledgeable teacher. Her home is just beautiful - the perfect setting for a class. We made three dishes, and she was really flexible in our ingredient use and how we approached the lesson. She has a genuine passion and excitement for cooking that shines through. Being with her was energising and when I am next back in Florence I will definitely book in with her!

Francesca was a wonderful teacher, an amazing cook, and a lovely host. I took a class in her Florence home, which offered insight into everyday life in Italy. Her home - along with her artwork - is gorgeous! I hope to come back and take her class just outside Florence in the countryside next time.

Amo tornare alle origini, alla vecchia Firenze Rinascimentale e fare un viaggio nel passato con i miei ospiti per poter riprodurre le vecchie ricette Fiorentine: dalla pasta fatta in casa realizzata totalmente a mano, come anche i sughi e i dolci, utilizzando solo prodotti biologici.
