MaMa Florence: Hands-On Gluten Free Italian Cooking Class
Discover the richness of Italian cuisine without a single gram of gluten flour.
This gluten-free Italian cooking class in Florence invites you into a convivial kitchen setting where a professional chef guides you through the art of preparing a full Italian feast using naturally gluten-free ingredients. You do not need to have Celiac disease or any intolerance to enjoy and benefit from this experience. It is a celebration of flavor, tradition, and mindful cooking for every curious palate.
Italy's culinary heritage is far more varied than pasta and pizza. Across its regions, countless dishes have always relied on legumes, rice, corn, chestnuts, and other naturally gluten-free staples that predate modern dietary trends by centuries. This class brings those traditions to life in a hands-on, relaxed format accessible to cooks of all skill levels.
Under the guidance of a professional chef, you will learn practical techniques and time-tested recipes that translate directly to your kitchen at home. The session is designed to be educational without being academic, filling the kitchen with conversation, laughter, and the unmistakable aromas of a proper Italian meal in the making.
The experience is rated Easy, making it genuinely suitable for beginners and seasoned home cooks alike. By the end of the class, you will sit down together to enjoy the dishes you have prepared, turning a cooking lesson into a shared meal worth remembering.
