What to Expect When Visiting Montepulciano, Tuscany, Italy
The Tuscan cooking class you don’t expect, among ancient flavors and traditional recipes: don’t think that Tuscan cuisine is only meat, wild game and cured meats because there is an entire vegan universe made up of recipes and dishes to be discovered and, of course, tasted.
In this curious vegan cooking class, a professional chef will accompany you in the preparation of vegan dishes keeping an eye, however, on the culinary tradition of the Valdichiana Senese. Under his guidance you will learn how to cook Tuscan recipes respecting seasonality. You will start with pici, the traditional fresh pasta prepared strictly without egg as the original recipe wants, pasta which with the aglione sauce – a giant garlic but with a delicate taste that grows only in Valdichiana – or with crumbs – literally sautéed bread crumbs in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil – they express their best characteristics. Depending on the season of your cooking class, you will then learn how to cook ribollita, pappa al pomodoro or panzanella and delicious bruschetta, from the classic ones with tomatoes to the more refined ones with black cabbage, beans or cream with herbs. You will close the menu with bread, wine and sugar, the classic Valdichiana snack. At the end of the experience it is time to taste all the dishes prepared by you with a nice lunch or dinner accompanied by a bottle of vegan certified Tuscan wine.
