Begin your class in a charming Tuscan kitchen with fresh zucchini blossoms, stuffed with ricotta, vegetables and cheese. Then, learn to mix, knead and shape pasta dough by hand, pairing it with a seasonal sauce of garlic, vegetables and Parmigiano Reggiano. Next, prepare a traditional secondo using free-range chicken or local pork, simmered in a Tuscan wine sauce. Conclude your session with a silky panna cotta, delicately topped with local fruit. Enjoy your handmade meal with fellow guests and take home a taste of Tuscany.
