Tuscany Cooking Schools

More people are taking part in culinary programs offered by Tuscany cooking schools than ever before. At Good Tastes of Tuscany, we strongly believe that our guests will have the ultimate Italian experience with a twist, by rubbing elbows with our professional Italian chefs, Lisa and Maurizio, in an authentic Tuscan kitchen. Imagine standing in the original 14th century kitchen of the gorgeous Pandolfini Estate, in front of an open-hearth fireplace, with aromatic sauces simmering on the stove and wild boar roasting in the oven.

You will learn about the art of truffle hunting, and savor, perhaps for the first time, their distinct earthy taste. Find out how to distinguish the various types of olive oil, and how to pair wine with certain foods. When in Tuscany, you will learn to think like a native Italian. Food is much more about living well than merely eating to survive. Food is what brings us together around the table, sometimes for hours at a time. If you relish the idea of sitting around a table and enjoying the free flow of good conversation and good wine, you have come to the right place.

The Distinct Good Tastes of Tuscany Experience

At Good Tastes of Tuscany, we like to think that we are among the top Tuscany cooking schools in the region. Our chefs are native to Florence, and both have extensive backgrounds in the techniques of Tuscan cooking. Although both Lisa and Maurizio have studied at the prestigious L'Instituto Etoile di Chioggia in Tuscany, a good amount of their knowledge and expertise as chefs was learned from their families. Italian families spend hours in the kitchen, creating family recipes that are handed down from one generation to the next. It is these recipes that are oftentimes the most memorable.

Many of our guests have never tried their hands at Tuscan cooking before, yet they find that Lisa and Maurizio make the instructions easy to follow. You do not have to be an expert in cooking to come take part in our culinary program. In fact, we welcome guests with various levels of cooking experience, from the beginner to the gourmet chef. It is our dream that every guest will learn a little something special about Tuscan cooking, without feeling intimidated throughout this exceptional culinary experience. Our menus vary according to the seasonal cuisine and are universally appealing. Our goal is to expose you to all of the Good Tastes of Tuscany. We know you have your choice of Tuscany cooking schools, but it is our hope that you will come cook and eat with us, as we look forward to your company in our kitchen and around our table. Buon appetito!
