About this tour
Learn to shape fresh pasta in an working artist's Florence studio, then sit down to eat what you've made whilst surrounded by paintings and sculptures. Over two-and-a-half hours, you'll pick up traditional Tuscan techniques from your host Anna, a professional artist who's mastered both her craft and the kitchen. Wine, coffee and all ingredients are included—this is cooking class folded into an actual meal, not a rushed demonstration.
Highlights
- Hand-make fresh pasta from scratch in a working artist's studio
- Eat your finished dishes whilst browsing original artwork
- Tuscan wine and coffee included throughout
- Take home recipes for dishes you've prepared
- Meet a practising artist and hear her story over lunch
What to expect
You'll arrive at Anna's gallery studio in central Florence and move straight into the kitchen area. Expect hands-on instruction as you mix, knead and shape at least two pasta dishes—think tagliatelle or ravioli made the traditional way. The process is unhurried; Anna talks you through each step and explains why Tuscan cooking relies on quality ingredients and time. Once your pasta is ready, you'll move to the dining area surrounded by her paintings and sculptures, sit down properly, and eat together. Conversation flows naturally between bites and sips of local wine.
