Overview

Book a private and fun experience with our Florentine family to prepare handmade pasta. We will use products from our garden and, if not available, at 0 km. We will prepare traditional recipes together! If weather permits we will eat in our beautiful garden!
(Sometimes it is possible that some requests overlap, we will contact you and ask for your agreement to allow the activity to be carried out in a small group).

Thanks to the partnership with the Correnti ODV Association, for each Cooking Class, €1 will be donated to support the community of orphaned children of Malelea in Lesotho. Garden Cooking Class puts its heart into it.
