A four course Tuscan dinner you cook yourself, starter to dessert, in a cookery school with a chef for every fifteen guests, then eaten with wine and a recipe booklet to take home.
Children under ten cannot join, a late arrival forfeits the class, and coeliacs are advised against it. 4.51 from 734 reviews at €79 per person for 4h.
