COOKING COURSE "I 4 AMICI" - MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE

A great range of delicious seafood dishes and hand-made pasta are caracteristic for the course at "I 4 Amici". Still, this cooking program gives a great flexibility and can cover also traditional meat dishes as well as pizza and bread making. Thanks to the high professionalism of the restaurant and the chefs who teach this course, this program is suitable for both beginners as well as professional cooks who wish to specialize in the Italian cuisine. All lessons can be taught in English and Italian.

The restaurant "I 4 Amici", specializes in seafood dishes and is one of the most renown in Florence. Its mission is to revive traditional recipes of Italian and Tuscan cuisine, adjust them for the modern tastes and offer a personal contribution to the celebrated Mediterranean Diet, which aside from being delicious, promotes health and long life.

The aim of the course is to introduce you to the complex world of Tuscan food and wines, so that you can learn to more fully know, appreciate and enjoy them. Very competent chefs will train you and share with you aspects of authentic Tuscan gastronomic culture. Together with the chef you will prepare the recipes studied. At the end of the course you will have lived an unforgettable culinary experience. 

The lessons involve the preparation of an entire menu, from the "antipasti" (appetizers) to the "dolci" (desserts). At the end of each session, after having prepared the recipes, you will sit down at the restaurant and dine on your creations, accompanied by the most suitable wines.

Our cooking courses can be followed by anyone. No particular requirements nor enrollment in our Italian courses are requested to attend this programm. The only prerequisite to participate in this course is your love for cooking and the Italian cuisine.
