AT THE TABLE IN TUSCANY

What is it that makes Tuscan food taste so good ? Haven’t you ever wanted to find out ? There is nothing like a day or more of hands on experience to get a real feel for the food and culture of Italy.

InTuscany is very pleased to be able to offer you one to eight day cooking courses with one of Florence’s premier chefs, either in her kitchen in central Florence or at your own.

Sharon is a Canadian from Winnipeg, who has been living in Italy since 1970. She and her Italian husband are the proprietors of an Internationally acclaimed restaurant in Florence.

The cooking school began in August 1998. Sharon teaches with passion the simplicity of recreating Tuscan culinary traditions into a grand contemporary feast. All guests are encouraged to participate in the preparations of a then enjoyed four course meal. The classes are by bookings only.

Manola and Paolo sat in on a one day class and left hours later having had the most heavenly gastronomic experience. We all had a hand at preparing the meal, course by course, from rolling out the hand made pasta to sliding a perfect and fragrant chocolate tart (the most delicious one I’ve ever eaten) from the oven, the whole day was a total delight.

Sharon peppers her instruction with tales from her life in Tuscany and cultural asides that had us all rolling with laughter. Students went home with beautifully printed mini recipe books, hand illustrated.

Sharon also has a “have pan… will travel” policy, - she can bring to you , your home, your business…recipes from a Tuscan kitchen. She instructs hands-on classes in the preparation of the recipes and explains how the ingredients can be adapted to British or American products.
