What To Expect

Welcome to an exclusive cooking class in Florence! Learn to prepare the legendary Bistecca alla Fiorentina with a professional chef. Meet in the historic center and, if you choose the morning tour (apart from Sundays and Bank Holidays), explore the Sant’Ambrogio Market, a local gem filled with fresh ingredients, Tuscan flavors, and passionate vendors.

Back in the kitchen, start with a classic Tuscan appetizer: bruschetta. Enjoy a quick aperitivo before diving into the highlight of the day: Her Majesty, the Florentine steak. This premium Chianina beef cut is grilled to perfection with just salt and extra virgin olive oil. Learn the chef’s expert techniques to achieve a tender, juicy, and flavorful result, just like a real Florentine.

As the steak rests, prepare the perfect side dishes: a fresh salad and grilled seasonal vegetables. No meal is complete without dessert, so bake cantuccini, Tuscany’s famous almond cookies, and pair them with vinsanto wine.

Finally, sit down and enjoy your perfectly cooked steak with a glass of red wine. Raise your glass and toast to an unforgettable experience: you're now a true MasterSteak!
