Overview

This will be a fun filled culinary experience of buying food, talking about food, preparing food and finally eating together with a local culinary expert Mirella!

Explore Sant'Ambrogio, a central market in Florence and visit local producers of oil, fruit and vegetables. On the 30-min drive to Mirella's home, hear about the history of Florentine and Tuscan cuisine. Enter Mirella's kitchen for a hands-on Italian cooking class during which you will learn to make 3-4 dishes that you will later enjoy. Your meal will include an starter, homemade pasta, a main and dessert.

Mirella’s approach to cooking has been influenced by both Florentine Renaissance (Tuscan nobility) and her proud Tuscan roots. Mirella uses seasonal ingredients and has a different menu for every season. A sample menu might include bruschetta or vegetable tart, penne with ragù, Tuscan meatballs with seasonal vegetables and cioccolatissimo (decadent chocolate dessert). Enjoy your meal over wine, prosecco and limoncello.

Activity itinerary

Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio

  • 3h
Join Mirella for a private, guided market tour in Florence at Sant'Ambrogio, located about 30 minutes from her home. Here, you’ll connect with local producers of wine, olive oil, fruits, and vegetables as you explore the vibrant atmosphere. This experience blends the joy of shopping, cooking, and dining together! Mirella, alongside her partner (in life and in the kitchen) Stefano, brings the flavours of Renaissance-inspired Tuscan cuisine to life. She leads a hands-on class where you’ll prepare a seasonal menu of 3-4 dishes, such as bruschetta, fresh pasta, a main course, and sauces. Weather permitting, you’ll cook and dine in her beautiful outdoor garden. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and cuisine of a local Tuscan family.
