Full description

Learn how to make pizza and gelato just like the Italians in a late afternoon class. Your chef will introduce you to the history of the most delicious Italian creations.

You will bake a pizza called pizzaiolo with your professional chef. You can acquire the skill of how to make tender, flexible yeast dough that stretches to almost paper-thinness, as well as the trick for a flavorful yet light tomato sauce.

After pizza, your chef will explain why gelato remains Italy's favorite dessert while giving an insight into the gelato culture that continues to grow.

Know about the raw ingredients used for bases and principles for selecting the best products available. Then, enjoy a presentation and tasting gelato chocolate.

You will also discover the development and application of natural colors, heating and freezing techniques, and their effects on different ingredients. Uncover the secrets of the world's most-loved dessert and Italian culture.

Enjoy an easy and fun experience that will last forever in your memory.

The workshop with Alice was wonderful! She explained with care and helped everybody in class. There was also room to ask questions which she was happy to answer. As others have pointed out the gelato making part was not very hands on for a larger part of the class (two helpers were needed). But knowing this beforehand helped with our expectations. Also it was fine to watch and learn (and taste!) how the gelato is made, while we got insider gelato tips from Alice. The class was one of the highlights or our trip, if you are able to attend one I would definitely recommend you do so!

On a 4 week trip through Europe this was one of my very favourite experiences. The host was entertaining and fun and very knowledgeable. I learnt so much and it was great fun. My daughters aged 11 & 13 really enjoyed it as well. Don’t hesitate to book this experience!

Vic was a great chef and teacher. She provided interesting facts about the history of pizza and gelato, made the experience interactive and brought humour and passion for her craft to the afternoon. This was a great way to meet new people and have a great afternoon in Florence.
