5.00If you’re in Florence, this is an absolute must. We took a cooking class with Alice through Towns of Italy and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. She made everything feel so easy and fun, while still teaching us real techniques we can actually use again. We learned how to make fresh lasagna completely from scratch (which was amazing) and finished with a classic tiramisu that was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.
We loved the class! It...
