One
of the most interesting and
fascinating experiences in Tuscany
is taking part in a cooking class.
Tuscan cuisine is based on simple
but tasty recipes belonging to
rooted traditions and coming
from wise farming. Arianna
& Friends gives you the opportunity
to discover all the secrets of
Tuscan food in our interesting
cooking classes. Our cooks are local
people preparing the same meals
that Tuscans eat at home, using
the same fresh and genuine ingredients
with the help of very useful tricks.
The duration of the classes ranges
from 2 to 3 hours according
to your needs before you sit at a
table and enjoy all the delicacies
you have prepared.
Our motto is: "The importance
of cooking earnest".

In
the Tuscan recipes garlic plays a major role.
Studies have shown that the intensive use of
garlic in Italy is one of the reasons why Italians

with regard to blood pressure and circulation.
