Private Florence Cooking Class with a Humorous Local Mirella
Overview
Enjoy a fun-filled culinary experience that comprises learning about, preparing and eating an authentic Tuscan meal with a local.
Mirella lives with her husband Stefano (her partner in life and in the kitchen!) in a small town called Antella located in the South of Florence. Meet Mirella at her home for a hands-on Italian cooking class during which you will learn to make 3-4 dishes including homemade pasta.
Mirella’s approach to cooking has been influenced by both Florentine Renaissance (Tuscan nobility) and her proud Tuscan roots. Your meal will include antipasti, pasta, a main and dessert. Mirella uses seasonal ingredients and has a different menu for every season. A sample menu might include bruschetta or vegetable tart, penne with ragù, Tuscan meatballs with seasonal vegetables and cioccolatissimo (decadent chocolate dessert). Your meal includes a glass of prosecco with the antipasto and two glasses of wine with the meal. Mirella also offers limoncello or vin santo with dessert.
