The class is offered as a view into the cuisine of Sharon and her husbands restaurant. With more than 20 years of experience, Sharon teaches with passion the simplicity of the trattoria's cuisine. She will explain the importance of quality, seasonal ingredients, extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs and produce, all of which are available in the local markets.

We prepare a four-course meal in the kitchen of Sharon's nearby home. The classes are small and intimate. Each participant will involve himself "hands-on" in the preparation of the recipes.

Afterwards everyone sits down at the table to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Two wines will be appropriately chosen to accompany the meal. Participants are presented with a cotton shopping bag and a booklet containing the recipes and description of the wines.

Lessons are by booking only, Monday through Saturday starting at 12 noon and finishing at 4:30 p.m. The cost per person is 155,00 EURO.

A market tour is also available on request; we meet at 10 a.m. to tour Florence’s Central Market choosing the best ingredients for our day of cooking. Sharon will explain the importance of extra virgin olive oil and how to buy a good oil and balsamic vinegar. Then we return to Sharon’s apartment where we continue with the cooking class. We will finish at 4:30 p.m. The cost for the market tour and class is 200,00 EURO per person.
