Overview

Step into the heart of Tuscan home cooking with this engaging, hands-on class designed to bring rustic flavors straight to your table. This interactive session celebrates simplicity, quality ingredients, and bold, balanced flavors.

Led by an expert chef, you’ll master the art of rosemary chicken cooked under a brick—crispy on the outside, tender within—paired with a luscious risotto studded with sweet peas and Parmesan. Refresh your palate with a crisp arugula and radicchio salad dressed in bright lemon vinaigrette, then finish on a sweet note with a silky chocolate panna cotta that’s as unique as it is indulgent.

This class gives you more than just recipes — it offers a genuine connection to Tuscan culture through food. It is a perfect gift for food lovers eager to deepen their understanding of authentic Italian flavors, home cooks wanting to elevate their everyday meals, and anyone curious about the rich culinary traditions of Tuscany.
