Cooking with Luca

One of the best experiences of our trip! Cooking with Luca and Erika was not only fun, but also incredibly informative. The class was high-energy and interactive from start to finish. We began at the local market, then continued on to a beautiful estate where we cooked together. If you’re looking to take a cooking class in Italy, I highly recommend this one.

The scenery was beautiful and the food and instruction excellent. I am so glad I went. The walk back after the trip can be difficult for older travellers

Outstanding and memorable day! Highly recommend! You will be entertained all day while walking through a beautiful off the beaten path Italian market (indoors) then shuttled to a beautiful farm with a garden and views. Spotless kitchen. They have you do the fun cooking prep, but the large staff cook the food, plate it and serve. Best day!! My teens loved it too!

Had a super fun day with Luca. The market tour in the morning was really fun. We had some samples of cheese and learnt a bit about the food in Italy. The estate where we cooked and ate was beautiful. The class was great and the staff were really keen on getting us involved! All the food we made was delicious and there was plenty to go around, including the wine!! Great fun, and well worth it.
A must when in Florence

This is a must do when visiting Florence! Luca and Erica were absolutely incredible! They made the class educational and fun to be a part of. You can’t beat the views of Florence either! Exceptional! Would do it again!
