depends on what's fresh in season – you might find fried zucchini flowers, stuffed artichokes or the famous Tuscan tomato soup with bread. Each lesson is comprised of:

antipasto (Italian pre-meal munchies)
primo (pasta)
secondo e contorno (main course with seasonal veggies)
dolce (dessert with coffee,...of course)

Hands on cooking lessons

should be fun - that is our Discover Tuscany motto. You will find that our chef loves to see everyone participate and join in on the fun...even if you prefer to just sip wine.

Each meal will offer ample possibility for every member to get their hands dirty while listening to stories about the food, the recipes and the Tuscans who made these recipes famous.

Learning to cook Tuscan style is more than knowing the right ingredients, it is understanding why they use garlic instead of onions in one recipe and why they prefer rosemary to sage in another...all this is part of the curriculum in our lesson.

The final part of the lesson

includes sitting down to a friendly table and enjoying the fruits of your time in the kitchen. The lesson itself starts in the early afternoon - to be arranged with each group individually - around 4 pm and ends with dinner being placed on the table around 8 pm. The chef is there the entire time to guide you through each step of every plate, and will incorporate any special dishes upon request.
