On Sundays the closed market is swapped for extra tastings; not suitable for coeliacs. Rated 4.87 by 1785 travellers. ## Overview Join one of the most authentic Florence Cooking Class experiences and choose between two unforgettable culinary adventures. Learn from professional local chefs in Florence's first cooking school, where small groups, premium local ingredients and hands-on cooking techniques create an authentic Italian experience for every traveler. Choose the Florence Cooking Class & Market option to explore the historic Central Market, taste seasonal Tuscan specialties and prepare Nonna's traditional Lasagna and authentic Italian Tiramisù from scratch. Or select the Pasta & Gelato Cooking Class to master fresh handmade pasta using traditional techniques before enjoying artisanal gelato with Tuscan wine. More than a cooking lesson, this is a journey into authentic Italian cuisine—recently recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
