Hi Jessica, I’m contacting you to suggest my cooking classes in Florence. I’d like to give you couple of details: my name is Silvia Maccari and I’m a private cooking instructor in Florence. I started in 1993 and back then, I was the first Italian cook who offered private market tours and classes in town. During all these years my business is grown so that I’m now one of the food expert of Marriott UK and Western Europe and train their chefs on original Italian cooking. I also work with other hotel European companies and travel often to USA to teach. Just last week I was in New York teaching.
I’ve seen Florence market dramatically change in these last years and not always for the best: people who were not trained in the kitchen improvise cooking classes teaching meatballs and bruschetta. Should you need any further information or my cv, you can google my name or just contact me at smaccari@iol.it. Hope this info will be of any interest for your customer and look forward to hearing from you. Silvia

Ciao Jessica! I wanted to suggest Stile Mediterraneo Cooking & Wine School in Puglia, Southern Italy. http://www.stilemediterraneo.it
The cuisine of Puglia is fantastic, very simple but extremely tasty because based on the freshest ingredients (vegetables, tomatoes, durum wheat, legumes, sea food and the excellent extra virgin olive oil).
One of the beauty of Puglian cuisine is its variety: so many culinary traditions in each different little town, just because of the many regional landscapes and dominations.
Classes focus on the healthy and Mediterranean cuisine of Puglia.

I just wanted to suggest La Tavola Marche Agriturismo & Cooking School in Le Marche, Italy. It is off the beaten path, hands-on cooking classes of local seasonal dishes – with produce from our farm! Stay in a 300 year old stone farmhouse set on 500 acres of rolling hills, farmland & truffle rich woods.
The cooking classes are fun & informal ranging from pasta by hand to pizza in the outdoor wood burning oven! Spend a day mastering meats or try a dozen different antipasti. Chef Jason teaches you techniques to take home & shares the secrets of cucina povera – peasant cooking.
Truffle & porcini hunts too!
