What to expect

You'll work in a private kitchen preparing traditional regional dishes under guidance. Expect to handle ingredients, learn techniques, and understand the reasoning behind each step—not just follow instructions blindly. Your host brings sommelier credentials and art historian knowledge, so conversations drift between food preparation, wine pairing logic, and Pisa's broader cultural context. The session wraps with tasting what you've made, accompanied by carefully chosen wines. This isn't theatre; it's a working class where you'll leave with real skills and a sense of why these dishes matter to Tuscany.
