Private
one-day cooking classes in a charming
farm
in the rural Tuscany area
|
|
|
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 give you the
opportunity to discover all the
secrets of Tuscan food in interesting
and informative cooking classes organized
for you at a traditional Tuscan
farm. Our farm is a wonderful
estate in the area of the Pisan hills,
between Pisa and Volterra.
Our cook prepares exactly the
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 and they
can be arranged in the morning or
in the evening, before you sit
at a table and enjoy all the delicacies
you have prepared.
The
preparation of your dinner or lunch
includes a couple of starters,
two main courses (primo and secondo
according to the Italian tradition)
with side dishes and a dessert.
During the following meal, local
red or white wines will be served
as well.
During all the experience, there will
be a friendly and helpful assistant
speaking English (on request also
German, Spanish, French, Italian or
Russian) ready to answer any question
of yours. Remember
that you can combine our cooking classes
with any other activity
of
Arianna & Friends.
