Visit Tuscany in this traditional cooking experience where you'll learn how to make a proper Florentine Steak

Few things in life are better than a day spent exploring the beautiful villages of Tuscany.  Perhaps the only thing that could make that day better, is ending it on a posh patio, overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills while you enjoy a proper Florentine Steak dinner paired with a hearty red wine.  This private virtual cooking class will transport you to those rolling hills of Italy for a date-night you'll never forget.  


Amongst the most notable steaks in the world sits Bistecca alla Fiorentina. The Tuscan region of Italy breeds a certain type of cattle from the Val di Chiana region. This cattle produces a phenomenal white Chianina beef which most experts agree is the traditional beef used in a traditional Bistecca all Fiorentina. This is a huge cut of steak, and when ordered in a Tuscan restaurant, it's ordered by kilo.  One steak can easily feed two to three hungry people. 


In this Tuscan cooking class, you'll pay homage to the Bistecca alla Fiorentina and the dishes that traditionally accompany it. From a sauce made of balsamic reduction, a simple arugula salad topped with Parmigiano Reggiano, herb roasted potatoes, simple but classic cannellini beans - your dinner will be one for the ages.  You'll finish your meal with you own homemade Cantucci (also known as Biscotti).  This class is a can-not-miss!

My husband bought me the Ravioli class for my birthday in September so I thought it would be fun for us to do the class on his birthday today! From the moment Carlotta came on the screen we knew we were in good hands! She was organized, laid back, encouraging and so much fun to cook with. My husband and I took the class seriously because we love to cook and really wanted to learn. Everything came out incredible! So much so that my mother and brother came over after and we tau… See More

What an amazing experience! Through a little online research, I found The Chef and The Dish for my foodie husband’s 50th birthday. There are so many delicious courses offered. He decided on the pasta making class with Ravioli and Tortellini. The first step was a prep class the weekend before with the Kitchen Assistant. She went over the ingredient list, tools needed, made sure our Skype was working, and asked a lot of questions about our background… See More

The Chef & The Dish fell nothing short of phenomenal. Such a personal and authentic experience! Chef Carlotta, our lovely guide, showed us around Naples in such a beautiful way! We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The food was outstanding, as was the wine and the company. Absolutely recommend this for anyone who loves good food and having fun in the kitchen. It made us beginners feel like total professionals. We will keep this with us forever!

We had such a fun and engaging experience making ravioli and tortellini with Chef Carlotta this weekend. She was amazing - instructive, clear, fun and it was a riot to be taking directions in my own kitchen! The recipes were great and the pasta turned out so delicious we wanted to eat it all up at once! We had so many laughs and it was truly a memorable way to spend a Sunday. Delicious! Thanks for such a fun time !!!
