Vegetarian cooking class in the Florentine Hills 6 guests max

About this tour

Learn to cook vegetarian dishes in a working kitchen nestled in the Tuscan countryside with a chef who's spent nine years perfecting Italian home cooking. Over three hours, you'll prepare seasonal recipes from scratch, understand ingredient selection, and explore how Mediterranean food traditions shape what lands on the plate. Small groups of six mean genuine instruction and real conversation about sustainable eating and regional Italian food culture.

Highlights

• Hands-on preparation of vegetarian dishes with professional guidance
• Learn ingredient selection: flours, oils, seasonal produce sourcing
• Taste paired red and white wines throughout the class
• Receive written recipes to recreate dishes at home
• Explore Mediterranean diet philosophy and seasonal cooking

What to expect

You'll arrive to a welcome drink and menu overview, then move into the kitchen for a practical lesson. The chef demonstrates techniques whilst you work through each step of the dishes, adjusting as needed. Expect to handle dough, prep vegetables, understand flavour building, and ask questions freely—this isn't a performance but a working session. Halfway through or as you finish, you'll taste what you've made paired with wine, discussing ingredient choices and how season shapes what's cooked.
