# Tuscan Cooking Class and Dinner in Florence

**Guidekin's take:** 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.

In our comparison: #15 of 15 in Cooking Classes, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

On this course you can learn to cook a classic Tuscan meal, prepared with seasonal and organic ingredients. In a top class cookery school you will be able to make a four-course meal (starter, first course, second course and dessert) under the expert guidance of a multilingual chef. The course will be followed by dinner with the dishes you have prepared, accompanied by a good Tuscan wine and a fun and friendly atmosphere. Please note that the class will be divided into groups with a maximum of 15 people for a more personal experience.
