Cooking at Casa Mia in Florence

A professionally led cooking class with optional market visit in Florence.

To delve deep into the local culture, there’s nothing quite like cooking with a local.

Step into the kitchen and discover the flavors and traditions of Tuscan cuisine during a hands-on cooking experience in Florence.  With the guidance of a local chef, you’ll learn how to prepare classic Italian dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients and time-honored techniques.  Cooking class students can experience a “hands-on” approach or they can just watch, if preferred.

After cooking, sit down and enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, accompanied by local wine and good conversation. Our cooking classes are a fun and relaxing way to experience Florence through its food.

The menu changes seasonally and includes an appetizer, main courses, dessert, and local wine.  Classes are customizable.  Market visits can be arranged for morning classes.
