"Which is your favourite dish?" Chef Davide has been asked this a million times. His answer: Ribollita. "If I had to put my soul into a dish that represents my childhood in Tuscany and my passion for authentic regional food, it would, without a doubt, be ribollita." This humble yet iconic dish, a symbol of Tuscan cuisine, is made with simple ingredients—vegetables, beans, and crusty Tuscan bread—but achieving perfection requires patience and expert technique.
This vegetarian and vegan dish is a unique opportunity to be personally guided by a native Tuscan chef through the creation of a recipe that’s unlikely to cross your path unless you visit Tuscany. Ribollita, especially when executed to perfection, is a true testament to traditional Tuscan cooking. As the rich aromas fill your kitchen, you'll be transported back in time to the heart of Italy.
Although it sounds humble, ribollita is guaranteed to be one of the most delicious, filling meals you've ever tasted. By the end of this class, it will become a staple in your repertoire of Italian food excellence. Chef Davide will prepare the dish ahead of time, demonstrating every step to ensure you and your guests can savour the authentic, homemade flavours.
For anyone who loves real, authentic Tuscan food at its finest, this vegetarian and vegan masterpiece is an unforgettable experience. You and your guests will love this class!

Hi, my name is Davide Cerretini, also known as 'The One Star Chef'. I'm a native of Tuscany and spent the last 30 years in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where I had a long career as a chef and restauranteur. I have experience in the entertainment business, as I have appeared in TV shows, such as The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, starred in a movie, as well as being interviewed countless times across radio and TV internationally.
The food I cook is 100% authentically Tuscan, learned from my family growing up in the countryside of Italy. Throughout my career I have focused on preserving the flavours and ancient techniques of that region without compromise. I am very passionate about the stories behind the dishes and how simple ingredients prepared in the right way can be so much more satisfying and flavourful than elaborate and complex recipes.
My classes are relaxed, humorous and full of storytelling. You will learn tips and tricks that I picked up while growing up in Tuscany, and never forgot.
I love to share my secrets with beginners, but also with more skilled chefs that haven't had the opportunity to experience the unique way of cooking that you only find in Tuscany.
My goal is to create a friendly atmosphere with relaxing interaction, all orbiting around delicious food, wine, stories and learning.
