Benedetta

I am a true Tuscan, raised among the hills and traditions of my homeland. Cooking has always been a passion for me, and I love creating simple yet flavorful dishes that highlight the tastes of my region. From ribollita to pappardelle with wild boar, every dish is a tribute to my land and its riches.My curiosity and love for experimentation have also led me to explore fusion cuisine, blending different flavors and techniques to create something new and original. For me, fusion cooking is a way to express my creativity and discover surprising combinations.When I am in the kitchen, I feel at home, surrounded by the aromas and flavors I love. Cooking is my way of sharing my passion and culture with others, creating memories and new traditions. Whether it’s a traditional Tuscan dish or an innovative fusion creation, my cooking is always inspired by my love for good food and my homeland.

We had such a fantastic experience taking a private cooking class with Benedetta in her home during our family’s first time in Florence! From start to finish, she was such a warm, welcoming, and talented teacher. Her home was absolutely beautiful, and it was so special to get to experience an authentic Italian cooking experience in such a pretty setting. We made two different pastas and tiramisu, and every dish was delicious. Benedetta was so patient and made everything feel fun and approachable, even for those of us who aren’t experienced cooks. Alessandra was also so kind & wonderful! This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Florence. We left with full stomachs, new cooking skills, and such a memorable experience with our family. We would absolutely recommend Benedetta to anyone looking for a genuine, intimate, and delicious Italian cooking experience!

Benedetta graciously welcomed us into her home for such a beautiful and authentic cooking experience. We learn’t how to make two pasta dishes from scratch, spinach & ricotta ravioli and tagliatelle with a tomato and basil sauce, as well as the most divine tiramisu! The class was equal parts learning and fun, with all dishes turning out incredible. This is our first time in Florence and couldn’t be more grateful to Benedetta, her amazing cooking skills and wonderful hospitality. This will always be a special experience to remember our time by. If you’re looking for an authentic experience and an opportunity to learn about another wonderful culture through food, you definitely need to meet Benedetta and do her class.
