Such a fantastic experience! - We had such a great time. This was our third class here and it was so much fun to hang out with the other instructors along with making new friends. Gui our Chef / instructor is fantastic. We were fortune enough to meet him during one of our classes with Linda. Just talking with him is what convinced us to register for this class. The market walk was so enjoyable. Visiting with vendors and just learning the many things we miss in a busy life. The kitchen was setup very functional and we all had plenty of room to work as we completed our assigned tasks. Cooking of the steak was and talking with Gui was very insightful as to grilling meats in US vs IT and Brazil. Hands down this school is top notch. All of the instructors are genuinely fantastic folks. I recommend these courses and hope that you have the same expernces we had. We are planning the pasta master class and bike tour in the fall when we return.

Best experience ever!!! - This was the most amazing experience! Can’t recommend this enough. Gui was the greatest host, teacher and chef! The steak and side dishes were superb. The Florentine Steak cooking class was very informative and so much fun! If you’re visiting Florence, you should add this as a “must do” activity.

Experience of a Lifetime - thanks Chef Alain! - We had the cooking experience of a lifetime with Chef Alain. We picked out all fresh local ingredients from the market a couple doors down. Then we prepared and learned the best and simplest ways to make several dishes including cooking our beautiful steak over an open flame. Once finished we talked and enjoyed our meal. Chef Alain is a master of his craft, a great storyteller and teacher, and just a pretty amazing human being. I can’t recommend this more, truly an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Amazing experience for a full course of food - 100/100 fantastic experience! Thought we were going to just learn to cook the steak, but we ended up learning a full course from bruchetta and tomatoes, to grilled eggplants, onions, salad!! And of course the star of the show, the Florentine steak was made with a choice cut of Limousine beef, which was so much more tender that the 2 other Florentines we had eaten the last few days. It felt like a mix of ribeye with sirloin. Seriously the best steak we’ve had. We made cantuccini from scratch as well with our choice of toppings - also the best cantuccini i’ve eaten! Chef Gui Baran was amazing as a host. He allowed us to grab some items from the market, and gave us tips and guides along the way! Do make this your FIRST stop in Florence, and he will have recommendations for u thereafter that you wont want to miss Great experience well worth every penny! Highly recommend

Once and anytime gladly again 👍 - The course far exceeded our expectations! Alain, our cook, was awesome! After a visit to a local market, we stocked up on vegetables and a large T-bone 🥩 Steak (La Fiorentina) and went to the kitchen...
