Short but absolutely complete, this is a full-immersion course in Tuscan gastronomy with our Chef Attilio Di Fabrizio. If you are in Florence for a few days or just passing through, take advantage of this opportunity: all you need do is book one day before.
In response to great demand, this year we have chosen three particular days to ensure you get the best out of your stay:
Monday, a perfect way to pass the time on the day when shops and museums are closed
Thursday and Saturday, start your holiday weekend with a lesson on Florentine cuisine.
The cooking course is held from 10.00 to 12.30 and is followed by lunch together with the Chef.
The main themes: the preparation of pastas, risottos and soups, with a particular emphasis on the Tuscan culinary tradition.
Attilio de Fabrizio was born in 1952 in Abruzzi, and attended the Villa Santa Maria cookery school, where many of the best chefs in Italy trained. He spent several years of apprenticeship in Italy, France, Great Britain and Switzerland, developing his culinary skills, before joining the world-famous Hotel Cipriani in Venice.
From 1975 - 1983, Attilio di Fabrizio worked in both Northern and Southern America before returning to Italy to become Chef at the renowned restaurant “Enoteca Pinchiorri” in Florence. In 1987 Attilio di Fabrizio was appointed Chef de Cuisine at the Hotel Villa San Michele.
Over the last few years, he has taken part in several gastronomic events, both in and outside Italy, working side by side with such famous chefs as Gaultiero Marchesi, Roger Verge, Paul Bocouse and others.
