Pranzi e Cene: siediti a tavola e goditi un'autentica esperienza culinaria a casa di una Cesarina locale
Una visita guidata con passeggiata al parco storico di Pratolino, a una breve distanza dalla mia abitazione dove al ritorno, potremo gustare un aperitivo finale con degli sfiziosi crostini, un dolce e del buon vino.
Il nostro itinerario partirà da un bellissimo viale di ippocastani che conduce al giardino più antico: qui vi parleremo della storia degli edifici più importanti del parco. Conosceremo, strada facendo, i personaggi che hanno tirato i fili di questa macchina tanto complessa e ammireremo le bellissime fontane che adornano il parco, ricche di riferimenti mitologici e alchemici. Si dice che i giardini medicei di Pratolino fossero tra i più incredibili mai realizzati, secondi soltanto a quelli di Boboli a Firenze.

- We loved this cooking lesson! Me and my family of 6 booked a pasta lesson with her and we made a full course meal. We used fresh ingredients and made everything from scratch. She gave instructions that were easy to follow and was great with the kids (we have older kids). Her house is gorgeous, it looks like a glimpse into history. The drive from Florence was beautiful along the Tuscan countryside. We threw this lesson in last minute, but it was the highlight of our trip! The traditional Italian food was delicious, and we would love to book another lesson with her if we ever go back to Italy.
- We recently visited Italy with our two grown daughters and their husbands and of all our experiences in all of the places we visited, our cooking class in the home of Maria Cristina was one of our favorites. Since we had 6 people, Maria Cristina and her husband, Marco, picked us up in town and drove us out into the country outside of Florence to their beautifully restored farm house that was originally built in the 1300’s. They were so welcoming and Maria Cristina got to work teaching us how to make a traditional Italian meal including homemade pasta and fresh sauce, bruschetta, roast pork with a prune sauce and tiramisu for dessert. It was delicious and we had so much fun helping and learning together. Over dinner, Marco gave us a history lesson about some of the effects of WWII in the area. They are such a warm and welcoming couple and we truly felt like we had just had dinner at a good friend’s home. I would highly recommend adding this experience to any visit to Florence. Sincerely , Karen & Kevin Londeen -and family.
- Outstanding lesson, explained ingredients, made special accommodations for my daughter, who is gluten free and gave us additional knowledge about Florence.
- Cristina welcomed us into her wonderful country home and gave us a great Tuscan cooking experience. All of us, from 21 to 62 years of age, thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and of course the dinner too.
- We had a wonderful time with Cristina. She took us on a market tour of where locals get the fresh food and ingredients. We then went to her beautiful home, a short drive to the country side. It was quiet with amazing views, like something out of a movie. The cooking and food were outstanding. We shared stories and had a great time. She truly opened her home to us. One of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend. If we come back to Italy we will be sure to visit Cristina again.
