Shared Experience

  • Beans with tomato sauce
  • Pici all'aglione
  • Gnocchi with mushroom cream sauce
  • Cantucci with Vin Santo

Hello! I'm Letizia, passionate about Tuscan cuisine, and I invite you to my home in Florence for an unforgettable experience. Together with me, you will learn how to make two types of pasta with your own hands, and I will reveal the secrets of my grandmother's recipes. In Tuscany, we welcome friends with a glass of red wine and a traditional appetiser, so this is how you will begin your adventure in my kitchen. I will teach you how to make Pici, the typical pasta of the village where I was born in southern Tuscany, which will be served with a special tomato sauce with giant garlic. You will be enthralled from the very first bite. While the Pici dough 'rests', we will prepare Gnocchi together, which you will enjoy with a creamy mushroom sauce. And to finish on a sweet note, I will reveal a typical Florentine dessert.

I highly recommend Letizia (Lety) cooking class. We were a party of 4 and had a fabulous time, You could feel the love that Lety and her husband have for cooking and their Italian heritage. We had wonderful conversation, good wine and the food was excellent! Just waiting for Lety to email us her recipe so we can start making our own pasta at home!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Florence (FI)    Languages: Italian and English
I am Letizia and more than a cook, I feel like a lover of my land, the wonderful Tuscany, and a fan of the vast array of products it generously offers. I strongly support the simple and "poor" tradition where raw materials play the main role and for this reason, they must be chosen and selected for their quality. Passionate about handmade pasta, I create experiences where we prepare and taste Pici with aglione sauce, a typical dressing with which they are now known or with breadcrumbs, according to the less known peasant tradition of the past. But in my events, there are also innovative and typical Tuscan surprises to discover! I was born and raised in the far south of Toscana, an area still little-known in many respects, including its culinary traditions, but I have been lucky enough to live in Florence, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, for over 30 years. Desired and known by all, I am very familiar with traditional Florentine dishes and I have created experiences that boast being a trade union between the center and the south of this region, all in the intimate and welcoming atmosphere of my home and in the company of my family.
