Activity overview

Step into a Tuscan kitchen and learn traditional recipes with a local cook.
Prepare handmade pasta, rustic sauces and simple desserts in a warm, convivial setting.
Share the dishes you cooked over lunch with local wine and regional products.

There’s something magical about grandmothers’ kitchens: the aroma of sauce simmering slowly, handmade pasta spread on the table, the chatter while mixing simple ingredients that become masterpieces of flavor. With this Tuscan cooking class you’ll enter a world of authentic flavors, craftsmanship and conviviality. Guided by a traditional innkeeper or cook, you’ll learn to prepare typical dishes of peasant cuisine: from fresh handmade pasta (pici, tagliatelle or ravioli) to traditional sauces (Tuscan ragù, tomato sauce, herb sauces), to simple and genuine desserts like crostata or cantuccini. Each step will be explained with care, just like a grandmother would: no complicated recipes, but lots of passion and attention to detail. While you cook, you’ll discover the stories behind each dish, legends and anecdotes passed down through time. The class will conclude with a convivial lunch, where you’ll taste the dishes prepared together, accompanied by local wine and regional products. An experience that’s not just a cooking class, but a true journey into the heart of authentic Tuscany.
