In an authentic Tuscan kitchen, you'll take part in a hands-on culinary masterclass that focuses on Italy's most iconic dishes and how to recreate them at home. Depending on the day of your visit, you will learn to master the perfect pizza together with either fresh handmade pasta, including ravioli, or traditional potato gnocchi. An expert local chef will guide you step-by-step as you get your hands in the dough to knead, roll and shape the bases. Along the way you'll learn about differences between regional pizza styles and how to pair the best fresh ingredients.
After the practical session, you'll sit down to a 4-course meal featuring the very dishes you helped prepare, starting with a fluffy homemade focaccia. Vegetarian and vegan options are fully available upon request, so everyone can enjoy the experience. The class is practical and approachable, with techniques and tips aimed at helping you reproduce the recipes at home.
