You can order a Tuscan meal, a lunch or dinner for the day you prefer and it will be done in your holiday Villa. You have to tell us at least a week in advance to organize it. Michael will do the shopping, he will prepare everything necessary and will serve you a perfect Tuscan menu. He will set up the table with the menu, serve you the several courses and take care of cleaning up all dishes and leave the kitchen in perfect condition. You will have to enjoy the lunch or dinner. Price range 35.- to 45.- € each person.
Michele already did cooking classes in several properties years ago, he prepared Tuscan meals for our guests in many occasions and he had his one cooking school near Florence with cooking classes especially for tourists. He speaks perfect English as he worked for years in USA.
I showed him that there is a large group of people from all over the world that visit Tuscany and want to learn about Tuscan cooking ore simply want to have a special dinner made for them in their holiday villa. Finally I could convince him to come back and share his talent and knowledge with our guests.
From Monday to Friday he is available for one day cooking classes with groups from 4 to 20 persons. You can have a personalized cooking class in your Villa where you can choose the menu that you would like to do. Michele has different options to choose from and is open for any suggestions. He is ready for any challenge regarding cooking and kitchen. The cooking class will be held entirely in English (with some typical Italian words explained to you) it starts around 11 in the morning and finishes when your meal is ready to eat.
In general a cooking class has a duration of 5-6 hours with a lunch break. The price is a minimum 250.- € for up to 8 persons. If the group is larger each added person is 20.- Euro. A cooking class is fun for everybody and all ages. You don’t need to be strong with kitchen and cooking. Try something different and new in your Tuscan holiday!!
Here are some options you can choose from. Or send us the menu that you would like to eat or the dishes that you would like to learn in your personal cooking class.
