Wonderful long cooking class in which we made ragout, pasta, ravioli and tiramisu. Met great people and the instructor made it tons of fun! Highly recommend. But not really for kids because this is a long class and the kids got restless.

We had fun as a family learning how to cook the Italian way. We loved touring the market and learning about olive oils and balsamic vinegars.

Jon and Thoma were outstanding!!! The classroom and kitchen facilities were very professional, but still had the personality of an intimate family. We had so much fun and would come back again. Just a fantastic experience!!

If I could give this experience 10 stars, I would. Our family had the most amazing time, one of the best travel experiences ever. Our instructor chefs Victoria and Alessandro were fabulous! This is a must do while in Florence, and can’t wait to do the pizza and gelato experience next!
