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.

- Excellent
- Great knowledge about food and health. Well organised and good hosting skills. The food tasted great and is a worthwhile experience away from the mundane experience at restaurants to meeting a local of Florence.
- Carlo, you are a great chef and I learned so much about the simple but delicious Italian cuisine. It was so much fun learning and talking to you and sharing great food and laughter. Now, I know what is missing in my kitchen to duplicate the great flavors and healthy cooking you showed us. Thank you
- Chef Carlo was a charming host and knowledgeable and talented chef. He taught us tips and tricks of making the best pasta and tiramisu, and even talked about the pasta making equipment he uses. He was very communicative prior to the class to make sure we could get to the class on time with no issues.
- We learnt a lot about spaghetti from Carlo. The class was relaxing and easy, very suitable for beginners. Highly recommend.

Where
Carlo
Cesarina from 2021Location: Florence Languages: English and Italian"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!
