Florencetown/Towns of Italy Cooking School

Florence food tour and semi-private cooking masterclass with a local chef

My name is Tommaso and I work as a chef at the Towns of Italy cooking school, where I will teach you all the secrets of the traditional Italian cuisine.

My approach to cooking started when I was still a kid, with my grandmother, who used to manage the kitchen of a hotel for more than twenty years. She taught me all the secrets and the basics of the Emilia Romagna’s cuisine.

Then, when I was 18, I attempted a three years program in a culinary school in Florence. From that moment
I started to work part-time in a few restaurants and pastry shops in the city to keep practicing at night what
I was learning in the morning. Once I graduated in “Culinary Arts” I started working in restaurants that could satisfy my passion and my will to learn.

After 10 years of working in restaurants I decided to start teaching, in order to give back the knowledge that I achieved during the several different experiences that I went through.
At Towns of Italy, our main goal has always been to work with fresh, local and seasonal raw materials, in a manner that can exalt them without losing their main characteristics.

Nowadays I can tell that teaching is my real dimension. I love sharing my knowledge and skills and, more than that, I really enjoy spending time with people showing empathy, hospitality and bringing our
customers in touch not only with the Italian gastronomy, but also with our whole country’s culture.
