Learn to cook traditional Italian dishes in a cooking class in the heart of Florence. The experience, of the duration of 2.5 hours will be hosted by our professional “Pizzaiolo” with more than 10 years of experience: Immerse yourself in the authentic flavours of Italy as you prepare fresh pizza and gelato, and learn about the history and culture of Italian cuisine.
Florence, with its rich history of art, culture, and gastronomy, is the ideal place to learn the art of traditional Italian cooking. Not only will you learn how to prepare typical dishes, but you will also get in touch with Italian history and culture through its most authentic flavours.
Learn hot to make a pizza from scratch, from preparing the dough to cooking it in a wood-fired oven. Learn how to create innovative variations using fresh and seasonal ingredients.
Finally, make gelato, a great pride of Italian gastronomy. Learn how to make artisanal gelato with fresh ingredients, without using preservatives or additives.
Add your favourite topping and enjoy a sensational experience you’ll never had before.
Please note: To make the most of our 2-hour experience, some preparations are completed in advance by our chefs.
For the gelato, you’ll learn about its history, ingredients, and how it is made. You’ll also take part in the mixing and preparation process during the class. The white gelato base, however, is prepared beforehand in our artisanal gelato shop, as it requires several hours to reach the proper consistency and cannot be completed during a 2-hour class.
For the pizza, you’ll learn how to make the dough from scratch and discover the techniques used by Italian pizzaioli. The pizza you bake during the class will be made with dough that has been prepared in advance by our chefs, as the dough requires time to rest and rise before it can be baked.
This approach allows you to actively participate in the experience, learn the traditional techniques, and enjoy the best possible final result — all within the 2-hour experience.
