Cook with a Chef and Shop Sant Ambrogio Market with Unli Wine

This experience puts you inside the daily rhythm of Sant'Ambrogio, one of Florence's last neighborhoods where locals still shop, cook, and eat the way they always have. You'll start at Sant'Ambrogio Market with the chef of La Chicca, choosing the day's fish and seasonal produce yourself, then head back to cook a full multi-course meal from scratch, learning techniques and market instincts you won't find in a cookbook. It's a hands-on window into how Florentine cooks actually work, not a staged demo. Because the menu is never fixed, no two classes are the same. This is a great fit for curious cooks, food lovers who want more than a recipe, and small groups or couples looking for a memorable, personal way to spend a morning in Florence.

Designed to showcase Firenze’s iconic and hidden corners, I lead this tour as a Florentine food writer and world’s leading tripe expert. Along the way, you get a full immersion in tripe culture. We stop at two historic stalls — one to taste lampredotto, another to try a different tripe recipe — while talking about Firenze’s tripe trade. You don’t just taste tripe: you understand it. Your experience includes two tastings with drinks and a complimentary booklet of choice: “The Little Book of Lampredotto” (40 pages with history, photos, recipes) or “The Firenze of the Florentines” (48 pages on how Florentines think, behave, and see their own city). Together, the walk, the tasting, and the booklets offer a complete immersion into Firenze and its tripe culture, guided by an authority on the subject. (Is someone in your group a vegetarian? I’ll make sure they get an equally delicious substitution to the tripe tastings.)
