COOKING WITH CRISTINA
I’d like to share a few words to introduce Cristina.
Cristina is Tuscan, and she loves cooking and being surrounded by people.
She loves genuinely homemade food, and has travelled a lot, always enjoying the chance to learn about other cultures’ life and food traditions. She put the two together, and for several years now she has been sharing her expertise through cooking classes followed by a family-style dinner for people visiting Italy from other countries!

Classes take place in Cristina’s own home in the Florentine countryside, in a relaxed, informal setting: you’ll cook side by side with her, then sit down together to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, paired with local wine. The menu is adapted to your group’s tastes and any dietary needs, and the whole experience — from apron on to dinner table — usually runs around 4 hours. It’s a favourite for families and small groups who want a genuine taste of Tuscan home cooking rather than a restaurant meal.
