Experience the Market Like a Nonna
Discover the market the way Italian grandmothers have always done. Speak directly with the butcher, ask the greengrocer for advice, and learn about the freshest seasonal ingredients with the support of a local expert chef.
As you explore the stalls, enjoy tastings of local specialties that define Florence’s culinary tradition — from cheeses and cured products to regional olive oils and truffle-based delicacies. Every stop reflects the values of family cooking and care passed down through generations.
Cook Italian specialties: tradition on the table
Back at the cooking school, the kitchen becomes a place of connection. Guided by our professional chefs, you’ll cook side by side, just like in an Italian family home.
Prepare handmade fresh pasta, pair it with seasonal sauces, and finish with a beloved classic: traditional tiramisù.
This is the cuisine of affection, where simple recipes turn into meaningful moments of culture, tradition, and shared joy.
Sit down to enjoy your meal with local Chianti wine, sharing stories and flavors in the warm, welcoming spirit of an Italian family table.
Make the Tuscan recipes again and again back home
After you've prepared your meal, savor it with unlimited wine.To ensure a lasting memory of your culinary experience, you'll be presented with a digital recipe booklet and a graduation certificate to commemorate your achievements. If your class takes place on a Sunday or public holiday when the Central Market is closed, we’ll provide an exclusive introduction and extra tastings at the cooking school to enrich your visit.
