Private Authentic Tuscan Cooking Class With A Professional Chef Antonella

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Antonella at her home kitchen, the kitchen of a professional chef. She has every specialized tool imaginable and a drawer with knives that would make any Master Chef jealous. During your cooking lesson, you will make an appetizer or soup, main dish and dessert from scratch. When you arrive, the kitchen table will already be set with the ingredients for the first recipe. While you begin to put everything together according to Antonella's verbal instructions, she will share with you intriguing tidbits about cooking and baking in Tuscany. You will learn to cook 3-4 authentic Tuscan dishes and enjoy them together at the dining table after cooking. Enjoy dishes such as red wine beef stew in red wine or chicken with mushrooms and balsamic vinegar, a pasta of tagliatelle, gnocchi or ravioli with seasonal vegetables, and bread. Your meal will conclude with a dessert like ricotta and chocolate crostata or tiramisu.
