    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.

    Carlo was very knowledgeable and shared his love and expertise with me to make fresh pasta and tiramisu- my hands on experience will be used at home

    Carlo was very knowledgeable yet patient and allowed me to make mistakes as well as learn. It was an enjoyable and delicious experience with insightful tips and fun conversations

    Carlo welcomed us into his home kitchen for the cooking class. We started off with a glass of white wine then started making pasta. The overall experience was fun and just the right amount of time. We were excited to eat what we made. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend to anyone when in Florence.

    Carlo, amazing teacher. Not only was he very knowledgeable about Italian cuisine but also the history of the dishes and are the nuances of the cooking techniques. It was a wonderful lesson and the best pasta dishes I had on my entire trip to Italy! Bravo! 5 stars for Carlo!

    "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!
