Market Tour Exploration with Pasta and Tiramisu Culinary Class in Florence

Tentang

To all the Pasta Lovers from around the world: this is the perfect experience for you! Join us in an exclusive small group cooking class at a real Tuscan Trattoria and learn to cook tagliatelle, ravioli, and tiramisù from scratch.

Meet in the very heart of Florence and start the adventure heading together with the chef to the most authentic grocery market downtown: Sant’Ambrogio food market (only included in the 9 am shift). Enter the Florentine temple of food and drinks and browse around the stalls to find the best ingredients for your cooking lesson, directly from the local producers. From fruit, vegetables, meat, salami, and cheeses, Sant’Ambrogio market offers only the best quality products at the most affordable prices. This is why it is the go-to place for grocery shopping and all the locals keep choosing it every day for running their errands. After ticking off all the ingredients on the list, let’s head back to the kitchen and start the fun!

Aprons on, time to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Let’s start with the sauces, which take the longest to cook. Ragù and a traditional tomato sauce are two great classics and will match perfectly with homemade pasta. Once the sauces are on the stove, you will start kneading the pasta dough. As the kitchen fills with the tasty smell of ragù, the chef will thoroughly explain all the secrets to making the perfect dough, starting with the simplest ingredients: eggs and flour. Once you get to the perfect consistency, put aside the dough for a bit, as it needs some rest before being shaped, and move on to the sweet part.

The chef will teach you how to prepare the most iconic Italian dessert, known and loved worldwide: tiramisù. Follow them step by step and learn all the tricks of the trade to make the smoothest mascarpone cream. As the tiramisù cools in the fridge, take a few minutes to rest and listen to the chef's story about the Italian thousand-year culinary tradition, while enjoying a little taste of Tuscan typical appetizers.

Time to get back to work and shape the pasta dough! The chef will teach you to make two of the most-eaten shapes of homemade pasta: tagliatelle and ravioli. Tagliatelle are similar to noodles, but thicker and wider, while ravioli are a stuffed pasta, filled with some delicious ricotta cheese. Feel like a real sfoglina for a day and follow the lead of the chef, to make your pasta dream come true. After seasoning the pasta, everything’s ready for the moment you have been waiting for all day long: Italian taste is served!

Take a seat and enjoy with pride the tasty meal you just prepared together, while sipping a good glass of the best house wine. Buon appetito, and don't forget to make scarpetta!
