Experience a truly unique and authentic culinary adventure with this private Tuscan cooking class in the comfort of your own home. You’ll learn from celebrated international chef Davide Cerretini, who will guide you through creating delicious, traditional vegetarian dishes straight from the heart of Tuscany. This is more than just a chance to cook and learn—it's an opportunity to meet a chef whose remarkable story has made a significant impact on the hospitality industry in the USA. With his larger-than-life personality, humor, and innovative thinking, Davide’s classes are always entertaining, informative, and truly one-of-a-kind.
The class focuses on two iconic vegetarian dishes that come directly from the Florence and Chianti wine regions—authentic recipes that capture the true flavors of Tuscany. These rustic, hearty dishes are so full of flavor they will satisfy even the most avid meat and seafood lovers. You’ll be fully immersed in the charm of real Italian cooking as you master time-honored recipes, surrounded by the relaxed warmth of Tuscan culture. Expect laughter, lively conversations, and a sense of camaraderie as you cook, taste, and toast with fine wines, making for a truly fun and memorable afternoon.
The menu includes:
Pomodori alla Panzanella: Authentic tomatoes stuffed with Panzanella Fiorentina, a classic bread, basil, and tomato salad.
Crespelle Fiorentine: Homemade crepes filled with spinach, ricotta, nutmeg, Bechamel, and topped with San Marzano tomato sauce—a true local specialty from Florence.
Besciamella: Master the art of traditional Florentine Béchamel sauce, an essential element in many Tuscan dishes.
Chef Davide provides all the necessary ingredients, so all you need to bring is a notebook and pen (if you wish) and your favorite wine to pair with the meal. Chef Davide will set up your kitchen and guide you through every step, sharing insider tips, storytelling, and a deep understanding of these authentic Tuscan dishes. Growing up in Tuscany, Davide learned to cook in his grandmother’s kitchen, and he brings that same spirit of family, tradition, and flavor into each class.
Throughout the session, you’ll cook, drink, and enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared under Davide’s expert instruction. After the class, you’ll receive the recipes via email, allowing you to recreate these authentic Tuscan dishes at home.
Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon spent learning, cooking, sipping, and tasting. This private class is perfect for food lovers, offering both delight and entertainment. By the end of the session, you’ll leave not only with new culinary skills but also with a sense of joy and a deep connection to Tuscany’s rich culinary traditions. Authenticity is the highlight of this one-of-a-kind adventure, and these flavorful vegetarian dishes will please even the most dedicated meat and seafood enthusiasts!

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.
