ABOUT THEEXPERIENCE

June 24th is a special day for Florence. It is a public holiday and although shops and restaurants are closed, it is a wonderful opportunity for you to join in with the Florentines to celebrate San Giovanni day. San Giovanni is the patron saint of the city, the saint to whom the Baptistery is dedicated, and during the day there are different events around the city celebrate it!

In the evening, there is a traditional fireworks display in Piazzale Michelangelo called fuochi di San Giovanni (St John’s fireworks), and it draws a large crowd. The fireworks normally begin at 10 pm, and
I will be organising a buffet on one of the most amazing terraces of Florence where you can enjoy authentic local food together with the spectacular views.

ABOUT THEMENU

I will be making several dishes, mainly with organic ingredients, and will be served in a buffet style. So feel free to mingle around, and talk to new friends, while enjoying the cool and breezy atmosphere and authentic food!

I took Elisabetta's class this past Saturday. It was an incredible experience! The food was delicious and we got to be hands on in the preparation, which is so important. We made fettuccine noodles and focaccia from scratch, and the most delicious Bolognese sauce I have ever had. We also made a to-die-for tiramisu. Her English is perfect and she is the most delightful person, so warm and inviting. The apartment is what you would hope an apartment in Florence, Italy, would look and feel like, which only enhanced the experience. I would love to take another classes from this beautiful lady and I can only wish the same experience for others. If you are heading to Florence, please don't miss this opportunity. This is a memory that will remain with you for the rest of your life. You aren't just seeing a statue or painting, but actually feeling the heart of Italy.

Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing experience my mother, nephew, and I had. Elisabetta is an absolute gem of a human being. Probably the highlight of our entire trip to Italy was learning to cook traditional dishes and enjoy them with Elisabetta and her lovely boyfriend in their beautiful home. They were so incredibly generous. If you enjoy great food, great people and truly connecting with locals you MUST book this experience.

I really enjoyed my Italian cooking lesson with Elisa. We cooked a traditional Italian meal at her home. Elisa shared cooking secrets that you would never get from a recipe. The result was a fabulous meal of homemade pasta and tiramusu. The best part is that I was able to make both again when I got home from Italy. My family was very impressed. Definitely recommend this class!

Elisa is simply the best! She is a beautiful person inside and out. My Food & Art experience with her was not only fun and delicious but also interesting and insightful. I am walking away with real knowledge of food and cooking that I didn't have before and new insights about myself which I learned from the art portion of my class. During her class she explains everything to you and makes sure you are comfortable and engaged! Food & Art was my best experience in Florence, I can't wait to come back! Thank you, Elisa!!

We had a fun evening at the house of Elisabetta enjoying her cooking in the center of Florence. Upon arriving, we were treated to a variety of specialties and got to poke around her kitchen which was actually really interesting, you can tell this is someone who really enjoys to cook and sharing her food with company. I definitely thought this was a fun alternative than going out for dinner and would recommend this evening to my friends. Eating at a local's house definitely has a lot of potential, thank you for a very interesting evening.
