The cooking class experience was truly one-of-a-kind. Mirella and Stefano welcomed us into their home and treated us like a member of the family. It was special to get to know them, learn about life in Italy, all while 🧑‍🍳 by and enjoying homemade recipes. Along with the amazing hosts, the food and recipes were delicious. After helping create the dishes, we all sat down and enjoyed a delicious meal together. When I find myself back in Florence, I will definitely book again. Thank you both for an amazing experience!

What a fun experience!

What a fun class! We were able to book Ubers out to her house and she helped get taxis afterwards to get us back to Florence. We made eggplant parm, fresh tagliatelle and gnocchi, sauces, and tiramisu. All amazing and paired with local or homemade wine and limoncello. Would recommend!

A lovely evening learning about Tuscan food and lifestyle

It is so interesting that you can make such delicious food with so few ingredients that can be easily located in any food market. We enjoyed preparing the ingredients, some of which were from Mirella’s garden, and then eating the food. An absolutely lovely evening of conversation and learning from two chefs.
