What to Expect

If you're looking for an original and fun activity to do with your family, this kid friendly cooking class in Florence is a fantastic activity to add to your trip. Using seasonal organic ingredients, our professional chefs are ready to take your family to the next level in flavorful Italian cuisine. Kids (and adults) who want to be a chef for a day will learn to compose classic Italian specialties that represent the cornerstones of the Mediterranean diet.

Immerse your family in this fun-filled cooking experience! The focus of this kid friendly cooking class in Florence is to give families the joy of cooking together and develop an understanding of healthy food choices. After a brief introduction to Italian cuisine, tie on your apron and let the cooking party begin! Children will use all five of their senses to explore the five food groups and create delicious masterpieces.

Everyone knows there is nothing quite like the succulent taste of homemade pasta! During this interactive kid friendly cooking class in Florence, big and little chefs alike will also learn the ins and outs of what goes into making fresh egg pasta. For hands-on cultural immersion, the whole family will knead the dough, roll the shapes, cut it into shape using a pasta-cutting machine, and cook them to perfection.

Once you’ve made the pasta your chef will teach you how to prepare a classic Italian sauce that will make your pasta dish extraordinarily appetizing, before getting into the sweetest part of the class: making the famous tiramisù dessert.

Finally it’s time to feast on your creations and sit down for a fabulous lunch. Best of all and at the end of the class you get to keep all the recipes to try them at home so you can wow friends and family with your Tuscan talents even after you've left Italy.
