Private Cooking Class: Italian-Style Meatballs and Tiramisu

When most people think of meatballs, mounds of pasta doused in red sauce come to mind. Ironically, in Italy, it’s rare to see spaghetti and meatballs on the same plate. Polpette are savory appetizers or stand-alone entrees. Italy’s meatballs come in many shapes, sizes and sauces. They are made from pork, seafood and even vegetables.

This class offers two interesting options that will surely satisfy your taste buds. You will learn how to make authentic meatballs; how to choose your ingredients fresh, organic, vegetarian, meat, fish, gluten free, and vegan. You will learn how to make tiramisu from the traditional coffee to more crazy with chocolate and chilli.

One of the highlights of your room will be the beautiful view that you can enjoy. The dining room is on the second floor in the old building overlooking the Boboli Gardens. You will learn how to make different sauces to serve your meatballs, such as mayonnaise, classic Sicilian pesto with dried tomatoes or tomato sauce or vegetables made from scratch. If you cannot eat all that you have created, don't worry. You can get a doggie bag to take it with you.
