ITALIAN COOKING COURSES

Our Italian cooking courses are one-to-one or in small groups, and are held in the kitchens of some of the best restaurants in Florence. They are practical courses: the students prepare the dishes studied together with the chef. The chefs who teach the courses are professional cooks with a special flair for teaching, and the courses are suitable for beginners as well as chefs who want to specialize in Italian cuisine.

The course program of one-to-one courses is always adapted to the level and the needs of the student.

The small group courses (3-4 participants) last for a minimum of one week. The period of study for the one-to-one courses is very flexible. At the end of a 4-week course of one-to-one instruction the participant will receive the diploma of "Cuoco di Gala".

The only thing requested for taking our cooking courses, is that you enjoy cooking. No particular requirements nor enrollment in our Italian courses are requested to attend this programm.
