Cooking Class: The Culinary Side of Tuscany

Learn how to make three authentic Tuscan dishes from scratch in this cooking class!


Begin the class by chopping ripe tomatoes, cucumber, red onion and pieces of crusty bread for an authentic panzanella salad drizzled with a fruity olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh basil. Next, learn the art of making gnudi by stuffing fresh dumpling dough with fresh ricotta, spinach and nutty Parmesan cheese. As the dumpling cooks, whip up a fresh marinara sauce to pair with it. For dessert, craft a decadent Italian sponge cake called schiacciata alla Fiorentina. Transport yourself to Italy when you book this hands-on cooking class today!
