We had so much fun cooking with Luca in his lovely home. He was so kind and was an excellent teacher! It truly was one of our favorite parts of our trip and it was so special meeting his family and enjoying the meal in the comfort of his own home which was very lovely. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an authentic experience! Thank you to Luca and his family for treating us like family :)
This was my second class with Cecelia -- the first was three years ago and it was so wonderful that, when I knew I would be returning to Florence this week with 2 friends, I had to book another class with Cecilia! She has a lovely home overlooking Florence and a very functional and well-designed kitchen. Her recipes are genuinely Tuscan, as she is a native, and are delicious-- and not too complicated to prepare on one's own at home. She is as charming as her food is delicious and she was very flexible with our needs and easy to work with. If you are going to have a cooking class experience in Florence, there is no one better to do it with than Cecilia. Even experienced cooks will learn a lot from her!
Claudia and her husband were amazing hosts. It was a highlight for us during our trip. If you are looking for a local experience, this is it. Spectacular views and company. We all dined together in their glass atrium overlooking Florence. Beautiful
Massimiliano, the home owner and chef was very friendly and kind in exposing us the history and how to cook what we ate... and what's more was that everything we ate was super!
It was lovely to have the experience of joining a local in their home and being shown some of the dishes from the area. My host Massimiliano was very welcoming and explained the processes involved in making the food. Good food, wine and company.
