Handmade Pasta and Gelato Cooking Class in Florence

About

You can’t say you’ve fully enjoyed Italy if you don’t eat two of the most famous Italian delicacies: fresh hand-made pasta and gelato! But what about preparing them from scratch? Get the opportunity to learn and combine ancient knowledge and innovative techniques in our cooking class in Florence.

Is there a sustainable way to have an unconventional meal with your family? Sure! Our cooking class introduces you to the authentic Italian gastronomic culture by teaching you how to create a first-course pasta-based dish, and showing you the best recipe for the superb Italian gelato in the Central Market of Florence.

BECOME A MASTER OF PASTA, THE MOST KNOWN ITALIAN DISH
Are you ready to blend eggs with flour and roll the pin to get the perfect tagliatelle? What about using a special utensil to get spaghetti alla chitarra? Making pasta with spinach has never been much easier. How? Easy, with ricotta cheese you can prepare delicious gnudi. You’ll learn all this and much more in this cooking class! An enthusiastic and knowledgeable local chef will show you not only how to create the perfect fresh hand-made pasta formats, but also how to prepare the best seasonal sauces like pesto, carbonara, or pummarola to get the real Italian flavors.

DISCOVER THE  REAL ITALIAN GELATO MAKING SECRETS
Discover where the best gelatos are made in Italy and how to combine the different flavors to end up with your favorite mix! With the live demonstration of our qualified and charismatic chef, you’ll learn not only about the taste of genuine Italian gelato, but also how it’s made, the details about the freezing and heating techniques, and what natural colors can be used. Last but not least: what is an Italian gelato without its cone? Give your gelato a crunchy touch and see how to make it iconically Italian!

FILL YOUR BELLY AND GET AWARDED 
It’s never been so delicious to reap what you sowed! Eat the inviting dishes you’ve put your hands on while drinking a couple of glasses of fine wine! After preparing two of the classical pasta dishes of traditional Italian cuisine with your family,   you can challenge yourself by recreating all the recipes that you find in the digital booklet you’ll be supplied with. There’s more: as a real Italian apprentice chef, once you get back home, you can guarantee your Italian cooking skills to your friends with the Graduation Certificate you’ll be given!
