What to expect
You'll work in a cooking space where an instructor guides you through assembling pasta dough, shaping it by hand, and preparing sauces built on vegetables, herbs, and quality oils. You'll also prepare starters and a sweet course using plant-based techniques. Once cooking wraps up, sit down to eat what you've made alongside the wine and oil tastings. The focus stays on understanding how Tuscan cooks built flavour without animal products—techniques that rely on technique, seasoning, and ingredient quality rather than shortcuts.
