Welcome to a unique cooking class in the heart of Florence, learn how to cook a beefsteak Florentine style with the advice of a professional local chef. Become the new MasterSteak and impress all your friends with a perfectly cooked Fiorentina after your trip!

Let’s meet with the chef in a real trattoria located in the vibrant historic centre of Florence and let’s start the fun. Your chef for the day is a true Florentine, born and raised in the Sant’Ambrogio neighbourhood, the food district of the city. They will open the doors of their kitchen for you and will give you all the tips to cook just the perfect Fiorentina steak directly on the grill, like a real pro.

Bistecca alla Fiorentina is the staple of Florentine cuisine. Cooked rigorously on the grill, it’s a special cut of Chianina beef seasoned only with salt and extra virgin olive oil. Its meat is extremely tender and juicy and must be served rare, to better enjoy its incredible taste. Learn all the steps in cooking such a life-changing world-famous dish with the help of the chef. They will wisely guide you through the whole process, advising you on the best techniques to cook it to absolute perfection.

But first things first! Let’s start with an appetiser and there is nothing better than some bruschettas to tickle your appetite. After a quick aperitivo, time for the main event, the Florentine steak. Watch the chef literally cuddle the meat, as it slowly cooks on the grill and its mouthwatering smell fills the kitchen. Once the steak is ready, let’s put it aside for a few minutes to rest and let’s prepare some side dishes to enhance its flavor.

A simple salad is the perfect match but, as the fire is still on, let’s make the most out of it and grill some vegetables as well. Lastly, since there’s no dinner worthy of its name without dessert, let’s bake the most famed Florentine biscotti: cantuccini. They are one of the culinary symbols of Tuscany and the chef will teach you thoroughly to prepare the best version of such beloved traditional almond cookies. Of course, cantuccini cannot exist without vinsanto, dip them in the typical dessert wine and taste their flavour to the fullest.

After such hard work, eventually comes the most awaited moment of the night, dinner is served! Enjoy your Fiorentina steak while sipping a good glass of red house wine. Raise your glasses and make a toast together! The Florentine steak has nothing left to hide, so be ready to bring your barbecues to a completely different level once back home!!

After a fun introduction, you will discover the secrets of how to make pizza from your pizza chef (pizzaiolo). You will learn how to create tender, flexible dough that stretches to almost paper-thinness. Then, listen closely as the chef describes “tricks” to make a tasty but light tomato sauce. When you bake pizza in your own oven back home, you and your guests will be amazed when they taste the true Italian flavours.

After learning to make pizza, it’s time for a gelato! Explore the simple, raw ingredients, and learn how to select from the best products available. You will learn about the flavour development and application of natural colours, the heating and freezing techniques, and how they have different effects on ingredients. While the science behind gelato is fascinating, the best part is the final product! Watch the warm chocolate drizzle into the fresh cream, and when it is the perfect consistency… It will finally be time for your taste test!

Does it get better than homemade pizza and gelato? The true, Italian flavours and passion of these traditional recipes make an unforgettable day. This pizza and gelato class is perfect for families, couples, solo-travelers, and friends. It’s an easy and fun experience that will last forever in your memory.
