Ask for a dateNot a lesson: a day in Florence
Apron, chopping board and market ingredients: in a JFG class you're the one at the stove, from the dough to the plate. The chef guides you step by step, in your language, and at the end we all sit down together, above the rooftops of Florence.
Knead, roll, fill and taste. No experience needed: you learn by doing.
Every class is held in one language: the calendar shows it for each date, so you pick the one that suits you.
We finish together, with what you've made and Florence all around.
Our secret ingredient
Our terrace looks out on Brunelleschi's Dome and the Medici Chapels. Here we knead, we toast and we have lunch. In the sun, under the pergola.
