About

We'll start with a snack offered by me to know each other and to explain our cooking plan!
Then we'll wear our aprons and we will dirty our hands making an entire ancient Tuscan meal that we'll taste together at the end of the class! During the class we learn how to cook ancient recipes but we will also talk about the history of the recipes and the symbolism associated with food!

After the class I'll send you my Family CookBook with all the recipes for home cooking.

We have vegetarians and vegan options.
Please let me know if you have any intolerance or allergies Before booking the class.
Please bring a jacket, we are at almost 500 meters above sea level.

"Great!"

Beautiful home, fun hosts. Felt like I was home in my own house. I highly recommend.

"Fabulous!"

I booked this for my parents as a retirement gift and they loved it! It was so personal and the owners were so helpful in making this a successful surprise gift. They were so thoughtful and created a wonderful experience for my parents!

"A Perfect Evening Out in Florence"

We truly enjoyed the Cook Like an Ancient Tuscan class. Gloria and Matteo were wonderful hosts, making us feel relaxed and welcome from the moment we arrived, like friends they had invited to dinner. The class was unhurried, starting with 30 minutes of conversation as we took in the gorgeous view from their villa in the charming town of Fiesol, high above Florence (but a quick and scenic bus ride from center city). The recipes we learned were simple and practical - easy to replicate at home with a visit to an Italian grocery (or a regular store with a few substitutions) but most importantly delicious. Gloria and Matteo kept the conversation lively. They peppered instruction about ancient Tuscan food preparation with interesting tidbits about modern Tuscan cooking and lifestyles. We departed full and happy. All in all, a terrific way to spend a Tuscan evening.

Meeting Point

We'll meet at n° 7 bus stop in Fiesole (Florence). The best way to reach Fiesole is by bus (n° 7) that leaves from Central Train Station in Florence (bus stop name "Stazione Nazionale"). The ride is about 25 minutes.

* The exact address will be shared in your booking confirmation.
