What to Expect When Visiting Firenze, Toscana, Italy
In Tavola’s Goumet Cooking course is for those visiting Florence, and despite only having a few days to spend in the city, want to combine the art, flavors, and tastes of Italian cuisine that will become a part of their own culture.
Gourmet Cooking is completely practical and interactive, allowing you to create and enjoy dishes that you can bring into your daily life.

Courses are taught by professional Italian Chefs, who combine their passion for cooking, public speaking abilities, and work group management, and teaching in a practical way: The Chef demonstrates step-by-step, and students replicate each step at their own station, making single-serving dishes from the menu. At the end, you will enjoy the authentic dishes you created, accompanied by a D.O.C. Tuscan wine in the Florentine style wine cellar, dating back to 1300- 1400 A.D.
Classes are scheduled:
All year round: Monday and Thursday at 11:00 am.
Sessions last about four hours.
Lessons are held in English, Spanish, and Italian directly by the chef.
