Our instructor, Vary, was fabulous! We made three different gluten-free pasta variations - all with fresh vegetables, spices and meat. Vary made the night enjoyable and taught cooking technique as well. We all enjoyed the delicious food we prepared afterwards. We have already recommended her to people. 100 characters

Awesome experience, amazing food and atmosphere! Chef Vary made the experience so fun and enjoyable. Also teaches how you can remake all of the dishes when you return home! 10/10

Best Cooking Class we ever had!

Frank_P, Jul 2023

Chef Vary was incredible. The pasta we made was easily the best pasta we had during our trip to Italy. She taught us authentic techniques, it was easy to pick up and very hands-on. She was very personable and made us feel right at home! She is truly a pro and knows how to make you feel like you are invincible and can literally make anything in the kitchen. She is very outgoing and even offered to help us with some of our Chianti tours that were cancelled last minute! As someone who is celiac it’s hard to find classes like these and this was truly one of a kind. It was the highlight of our trip and I cannot recommend this experience enough. Chef Vary is truly amazing.

The highlight of our trip so far

tom_f, Jul 2023

The host Valle (mi dispiace se nome non giusto) was wonderful, expert in her craft, very kind to her guests, especially my 14 yr old daughter. The dishes were absolutely amazing and you would never guess they were gluten free. Ravioli with figs was my favorite. Grazie Mille for making our vacation special!

Amazing!!

Katherine_L, Jul 2023

Incredible experience! We made three types of gluten free pasta with the freshest ingredients. It was absolutely delicious, and Chef Vary was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and a great teacher!! The kitchen was very clean and perfectly safe for celiacs. I would absolutely do it again!!

Fantastic!

Rachel_E, Jun 2023

Chef Vary is incredible! The class was so fun and she provided clear instructions that made making fresh gluten free pasta seem simple! Chef also is incredibly careful about cross-contamination. Everything was cleaned and only gluten free tools were used. Even better, the food was incredible! We can’t wait to make the recipes at home. Highly recommend for any celiacs or anyone simply wanting to learn to make incredible pasta!

Amazing Experience making Gluten Free Dishes in Florence

Michelle_D, May 2023

Chef Vary is absolutely amazing. This experience for our family of 10 was nothing short of perfection and exceeded anything we could have wished for. The dishes we made were out of this world and we will never forget it. If we are ever lucky enough to go back to Florence we would sign up for this class with different dishes in a heart beat. Chef Vary was so helpful, organized and even customized the recipes for us. Fabulous experience!

Highlight of our trip!

Elana_K, May 2023

Chef Vary was an amazing teacher and host! This has been one of the highlights of our trip! The food we made was absolutely delicious.

Excellent! Highly recommend!

SEEMA_R, Mar 2023

We had a private Gluten free cooking class with Chef Vary. We made fresh pasta (fettucine and mushroom ravioli) as well as Ricotta Gnocchi. Chef Vary was engaging and made the class lots of fun for my husband and myself. She took every precaution to have a safe gluten free cooking environment. Best of all, the pastas tasted amazing. My husband, who is not Celiac enjoyed them too! Chef was supposed to send the recipes to me as well, but I havent received them yet.

Great atmosphere to learn new recipes

Jessamy_P, Jan 2023

Amazing private cooking class. Great way to learn new recipes (especially gluten free), in a warm and friendly atmosphere

BEST time in Florence!

Dorrit_K, Dec 2022

An absolutely WONDERFUL experience!! We are a foodie family with lots of discerning palates and we absolutely LOVED making and especially eating this food. Chef Vary taught us so much and we put together 3 different pasta dishes that were fabulous. I highly recommend this experience!!! Our two daughters (18,21) can’t wait to try some of the recipes in college. Thank you!!!

So much fun & food!

Amber_B, Nov 2022

Chef Vary was an excellent teacher! My mom and I had a lot of fun. Chef Vary made sure she asked our likes and dislikes before determining what to make. We made a black pepper spaghetti with an artichoke, pancetta, and olive oil sauce and a Parmesan and truffle ravioli. Both were amazing! It is so interesting how two little cups of gf flour can make so much food! Be prepared to work because pasta making isn’t easy, but it is so worth it! Having zero cooking ability, Chef Vary was very patient and encouraging. We couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this cooking class.

Incredible

Aleksandr_B, Oct 2022

Incredibly delicious, excellent lesson with lots of insight into how it’s traditionally done and how to make it more doable at home
