La Cucina Kasher in Toscana is the ultimate combination of a kosher cooking program in Tuscany, shopping, sightseeing and experiencing the true feeling of being a guest in Italy, not a tourist. You will meet with leaders of the Jewish community of Florence. Both the novice and experienced cook will feel comfortable in an informal, fun environment. A non-cooking spouse or friend may accompany you, and will participate in all activities and meals.THE COOKING CLASSES
There are five days of cooking, hands-on, three hours each, specializing in Tuscan and regional cooking. Classes are in English and printed recipes are provided. Emphasis will be on preparation, presentation and the historical aspects of cooking. Following each class, you will partake of the meal that has been prepared, accompanied by the appropriate wines. A visit to the open air markets will allow you to learn about and select ingredients to be used in class. At the completion of the program, you will be presented with a certificate.
KASHRUTH
Kosher supervision is provided by the mashgiach on the cooking school premises. While away from Florence we will enjoy meals which have been prepared for us, by the instructors, under the supervision of the mashgiach.
