Your Experience

Roll up your sleeves in Florence for a hands-on pasta and dessert cooking class with a professional chef, ending with a sit-down meal and drinks.

Getting started

Begin by meeting the staff at the designated spot, where you receive assistance at the meeting point and are directed to the kitchen. After a brief introduction to the cooking class format and ingredients, you move to your workstation. Once everyone is set up, the professional chef outlines the recipes you will prepare and the overall flow of the session.

What to expect

Pasta & dessert making class in Florence

This experience is a single-session, hands-on cooking class focused on fresh pasta and a typical Italian dessert, guided by a multilingual professional chef. You work in a group with a maximum of 15 participants, using seasonal and organic ingredients to prepare multiple dishes before sitting down to enjoy them with drinks.

Features

• Learn to make fresh pasta following ancient Italian traditions, from mixing and kneading the dough to shaping three types of pasta, each paired with a different sauce. The chef explains each step so you can reproduce the process at home.
• Take part in hands-on pasta and dessert preparation, actively chopping, stirring, rolling, and assembling rather than just watching a demonstration. You also create a typical Italian dessert as part of the class flow.
• Benefit from a cooking class with a professional chef, who provides guidance as a multilingual instructor, correcting techniques and answering questions in real time for each small-group station.
• Use seasonal and organic ingredients throughout the session, which the chef introduces at the start so you understand how they shape the flavor and texture of your three pasta dishes and dessert.
• Sit down at the end for dinner or lunch with drinks, tasting the full menu you have just cooked, accompanied by Tuscan spirits that complete the experience in a relaxed group setting.
• Receive recipes for all the preparations, including the three types of pasta, their sauces, and the typical Italian dessert, so you can replicate the class dishes in your own kitchen after the experience.
