Private Market Tour, Pasta Making Class and Dinner with a Local Chef in Florence

Cinzia is a kind and gentle host who first learned to cook watching her mother and grandmother cook in the kitchen. She went on to study professionally at a cooking and pastry school in Italy. Cooking to Cinzia is love and life. She transfers her energy into the ingredients of the food she prepares, and truly enjoys sharing her passion for her ingredients and traditions and leaving a piece of her culture with travelers.

A mother of three, Cinzia works in analytics during the day to sustain her family, and fuels her passion for food by cooking in the evening. She started a cooking school and enjoys hosting special dinners and events. She also has an interest in medieval and Renaissance Italian recipes.

Cinzia has been trained in vegetarian, celiac and macrobiotic cooking and is happy to accommodate your special dietary requests.

Please note: Unlike a typical single market tour, this is a tour of several shops that sell high-quality Italian food and produce. For the cooking class, if you have a preference between learning to cook three pastas or one pasta and a meat main, please include it when making your booking. If you don't include your choice, your host will decide your menu for the day.
