INSIDE THE TUSCAN KITCHEN
Discover San Ambrogio Market
I’m Claudio Bisanzi, and one of the most authentic ways to begin a Tuscan cooking experience is with a visit to the Mercato di San Ambrogio in the heart of Florence. Together with my team of expert chefs and local guides, we lead you through this historic market, a vibrant corner of early twentieth century Florence where locals still shop daily for fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and the true flavors of Tuscany. With us, you will discover its traditions, its stories, and the ingredients that bring our cooking classes to life.
From Market to Kitchen
Walking through the vibrant stalls, you can feel the authentic rhythm of the city. The market is full of life, colors, and aromas, and it remains a very special market to explore, even for those who know Florence well.
I’ve built long-lasting relationships with my favorite vendors here — they’re like family to me. They always provide the best and freshest ingredients, and they love sharing tips and stories about their products. During our market visit, I’ll introduce you to them, show you how to choose the perfect ingredients, and share secrets that only a true Florentine would know.
A True Florentine Experience
This is more than shopping — it’s a fun and immersive experience, where you can laugh, taste, and discover the spirit of Florence while picking out the ingredients for our cooking class. Together, we’ll gather the freshest seasonal produce, aromatic herbs, and regional specialties that will bring our Tuscan dishes to life.
Join me at the Mercato di San Ambrogio and start your culinary adventure in Florence the way locals do — with curiosity, joy, and a true taste of Tuscany.
