Compliment your visit to Cortona and Tuscany with an educational and cultural cooking, food and wine experience that will last a lifetime!
Join Toscana Americana Workshops Producing Director Patrick Mahoney for a full or half-day of cooking in historic Cortona. We will go beyond the common notions of Italian cooking as spaghetti & meatballs and pizza and explore Tuscany’s rich culinary traditions from the wonderful flavors of the “poor kitchen” to modern and contemporary dishes…all using the finest local ingredients available such as meats and game, cheeses, olive oils, breads, wines and seasonal vegetables. Sessions are conducted with English translation.
