Best Host and Meal!!!

Cheryl_L, Apr 2024

This was by far one of our most memorable events of our vacation. Patrizia was amazing. She opens her home to you and it is beautiful. The meal we learned to cook was wonderful and learning about the local markets and some the architecture in the area was a plus. We had so much fun and we all left extremely full. The cooking included pasta, a meat stew and dessert. She gave us many options to choose what we wanted to learn to make. This is highly recommended and worth the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Highlight of trip

Four of us spent an amazing day with Patrizia. We meet at the market, selected a menu and shopped for the fresh produce and meat. Our day with her was filled with amazing food, an excellent cooking class, wine and delicious meal we helped her prepare. I love to cook and I learned tips about Italian cooking I did not know. Patrizia is delightful, interesting and knowledgeable about food, wine and her beautiful Florence. We loved the experience.
