    The Sant'Ambrogio market is the oldest food market in Florence and the one where locals continue to shop.

    It is an authentic and interesting market where King Charles spent an entire morning when he was still a prince. Filled with local vegetables, meat and fish, it is a great place to start our class by buying some fresh ingredients and exploring the most interesting stalls.

    After the market, we will walk to my house and start our cooking class. We will prepare, depending on the season, fried flowers or a bruschetta with seasonal ingredients, homemade ravioli and a dessert.

    This was the best thing we did! Such an amazing time and we enjoyed learning about making pasta and cooking.

    Our private cooking class with Carlo was the highlight of our trip! If you enjoy being immersed in the culture of locals then this class is a great choice. We spent the evening in Carlo’s home kitchen making pasta and sharing conversation. You can tell Carlo takes great pride in his work and is an exceptional cook. We have been in Italy for over a week now and this was definitely the best meal! If you wonder if Carlo is the right person to book with, look no further! It doesn’t get better than Carlo!

    Carlo was a wonderful host and the food was amazing. I can’t wait to try to recreate his recipes at home!

    "I love good food and I have been cooking for a lifetime! For years, I have also been dedicated to the search for cuisine that is not only delicious but also health-conscious: low-cholesterol and low-sugar desserts, and homemade pasta made with stone-ground flours from small mills... In many cases, it is possible to cook great dishes with local ingredients, without compromising on health." However, this should not be an excuse for creating mediocre dishes: if they are not good, it's pointless for them to be healthy!
