Cecilia

Dante, Brunelleschi, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Botticelli, the Medici family: Florence is the city of the Renaissance, and it is wonderful to walk in the narrow streets of its historic centre, in its markets, in its Arno riversides, cross its bridges, visit its museums unique in the world. And when, after wandering for a long time, you feel a little peckish, I'll take you to taste an unsurpassed truffle sandwich from Procacci, bruschetta and croutons from Nuvoli, ice cream from Vivoli and cappuccino from Gilli coffee and much more. Book a Street Food Tour in my beautiful city with me, Cesarina Cecilia, 100% Florentine: we will spend a very pleasant time together!

Amazing street food in Florence

Carlo

Sant’Ambrogio market is the second food market in Florence and the one where locals still go shopping.It’s an authentic and interesting market where King Charles spent a whole morning when he was still a Prince.Stuffed with local vegetables, meat, and also fish it’s 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 home and start the cooking class.We will prepare a bruschetta with fresh seasonal ingredients, homemade ravioli, and a dessert.

Street Food Tour in Florence tasting good speciality

Dusica

A family's special moments become part of its history, and having the opportunity to celebrate in intimacy and away from the hustle and bustle of restaurants can lend a special light to the experience. To the sound of a toast made with crystal glasses, a four-course menu and dessert curated for the occasion in a friendly and welcoming environment, could turn a special day into a memorable one.

Celebrations and anniversaries

This menu is in complete harmony with the Tuscan culinary tradition that is based on the quality of the ingredients and not on the complexity of the recipes. As grandmothers would say: "It's not Tuscan what is made with more than three flavors." ("Non è toscano ciò che l'è fato con più di tre sapori").Each of the proposed recipes has the advantage of being prepared in company, by expert hands or not, and for guests who arrive at the last for for a drink in the company.

Three simple and tasty recipes

Our house in the center of Florence, a stone's throw from the Duomo and the Synagogue, will welcome you with its uniqueness: curated spaces that we have made ourselves.The kitchen is a collection of utensils and curious memories that evoke memories of grandma's kitchen. Here we will prepare the recipes that we are going to enjoy together, around the round table from the 1800s in our living room, with an elegant mise en place.Prosecco is what will serve as the overture; music will accompany the dinner, which, between toasts and more, will unfold in tones of a budding friendship. Often, after the dinner, the mutual desire for a new meeting remains.You are welcome

Food, family hospitality and sharing

This experience is a challange of a teamwork and creativity. Every person has the possibility to guide the entire process of producing pasta from dough, either in form of tagliatelle or ravioli.We start with making a dough out of flour and egg and the tiramisù, the dessert that needs to chill for a while. During the cooking class we need to show our good will to make everything work through collaboration because the pasta making is magic that connects people.

Giovanna detta Ivana

The autumn menu includes traditional Tuscan foods. My highlight is the Risotto al Chianti, which is cooked with the famous Tuscan wine. We can taste it accompanying it with an entrée of Tuscan crostini, and finally a delicious apple strudel. All accompanied by excellent regional wines. I can cook vegetarian alternatives.

Autumn menù 

I love cooking and sharing food with others, and for the occasion I will show you the secrets of making real fresh pasta and traditional Italian desserts with an exciting cooking class, in my large and cozy kitchen.Step by step, we will make three recipes, amidst chatter, laughter and a few glasses of wine, and then go on to enjoy them.What are you waiting for to get your hands in the dough?

Three good recipes to try together!

Antonella

Hands-on cooking class with 3 recipes (starter, pasta and dessert) followed by a 3-course menu with the recipes prepared during the class.

The goodness of Tuscan cuisine

Immersed in nature, in an ancient monastery, we will prepare together all the steps needed to make a good lasagna with a good ragout preparation and béchamel sauce. Next we will make one of the best-known and oldest recipes in Italian cuisine: tiramisu, a spoon dessert consisting of layers of ladyfinger cookies soaked in coffee and filled with a mascarpone-based cream.

To learn how to cook good Lasagna in Florence

Stefania

This Tuscan menu is a little different from the usual dishes offered because it has pasta with sheep sauce as a first course. This dish is cooked by ancient tradition throughout the Florentine plain. This dish won me the first prize for best sheep in Campi Bisenzio (the original city of this dish). The crouton I propose is based on a Renaissance recipe. Tiramisu is a classic to finish the meal on a sweet note.

Traditional Florentine dinner

A Dinner dedicated to the Tuscan traditionTuscan crostino with Renaissance recipePenne sulla Pecora a typical dish of the Florentine plain but exactly of Campi Bisenzio. La Pecora alla Campigiana and consequently Penne sulla Pecora are traditional dishes of my city. A Palio ( Party) is also celebrated mid Septembre which decrees the best dish in question: I am the winner of 2019!!Tiramisù, a classic to end beutyI wait for you for a nice evening in company

Cena tradizionale toscana

Paola
