Bike RentalTuscany is a wonderful region rich in marvellous areas to discover, beautiful art cities and delicious food and wine.
You can’t say you’ve been in Tuscany if you’ve never tried one of its most tasteful recipes: the real essence of Tuscany lies in its food and wine.
Many farmhouses and rural accommodation in our region offers cooking courses for teaching a bit of this authentic and rural cuisine that uses natural and local products.
The wine-and-food tourism has recently increased in Tuscany: people coming from all over the world are interested in visiting its most popular places and attractions, as well as in tasting some of the most famous wines in the world - DOC and DOCG Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Bianco di Pitigliano and all white wines of the Maremma area - together with some delicacies thanks to which the Italian cuisine has gained international claim.
It may sound strange that all those things are focused in such a small region, but this is Tuscany: seeing is believing!
That’s why some accommodation organize cooking courses for their guests: tasting the typical essence of Tuscany may be dangerous: once you’ve tried it, you won’t be able to come back home again!
Cooking courses are aimed to teach guests some of the most traditional recipes of Tuscany. Renowned for being a poor cuisine, our food tradition uses mainly simple ingredients coming from local productions, like bread, vegetables, meat, so even the most delicious dishes won’t be difficult to be prepared.
Homemade fresh pasta with typical meat sauces, desserts and meat dishes are usually the most popular recipes you’re going to learn, as well as the realization of typical Tuscan antipasto with crostini and cold cuts, first and second courses and, finally, the dessert.
You’ll be able, then, to bring home with you a touch of real Tuscany.
