This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Virginia at her home kitchen in Cascina, just a short distance from Pisa, for a hands-on cooking class. In your fun 2-hour cooking class in Pisa learn to cook two traditional Italian dishes from scratch. Your Tuscan symphony begins with a 'prelude' of Tuscan tomato soup with caramelised onion and basil oil or delicate potato mille-feuille with sausage, stracchino, and mushrooms or livers with vin. This is followed by act one, 'beyond tradition', where guests will savour gnudi made from sheep’s ricotta and spinach, set atop a creamy pecorino sauce, with sage and toasted almonds for added depth. The main course, act two, features peposo, marinated beef muscle slow-cooked in Chianti, served with a velvety cannellini cream, rosemary, and black charcoal bread. The meal concludes with 'the heart of apple', a mini Tuscan apple pie complemented by a red wine reduction, egg flip, and a dash of cinnamon, delivering a sweet finish to a perfect meal. This experience is an exploration of Italian flavours that will stay with you long after the meal ends.
