Cooking classes in Tuscany
Many of the cooking classes in Tuscany are held in fully equipped and spacious kitchens, set amidst the breathtaking view of the Tuscan region. Cooking classes are supervised by experienced Chefs who will give valuable lessons on Tuscan cuisine - from appetizers to dessert to the main course.
Classes range from a day to a week long program. Aside from mouthwatering Tuscan recipes, the Chefs also share skills which are handed down from their grandparents in order to prepare authentic Tuscan dishes. You cannot find these things in a cook book. The dishes you will prepare also vary from season to season. Summertime is flavorful, because luscious fruits and vegetables are in season. Wintertime on the other hand showcases tasty meats and appetizing sauces.
Traveling around the region will let you savor certain local specialties such as the acquacotta menu of Arrezo, which is a dish cooked in water together with fried onions, tomatoes, egg and cheese. You will also learn how to cook the town's famous sautéed chicken giblets and stuffed pheasants.
