Founded by friends Cristina Blasi and Gabriella Mari in 1985, Cordon Bleu Scuola di Arte Culinaria is a reputable cooking school that has been educating passionate amateurs and professional chefs for nearly four decades.
Located along quintessential Florentine street via Giusti in a 16th-century palazzo, complete with high frescoed ceilings and terracotta tiled floors, this cooking school par excellence is the perfect place to savour an eclectic range of quality courses run by qualified staff.
Tailored kitchen-based teambuilding experiences appeal to conference organizers and the MICE industry due to the spacious halls capable of hosting large groups, while the study abroad and destination wedding sectors can benefit from the culture-centric approach to afternoons spent learning about regional Italian cuisines. A recent addition, the Bistecca alla Fiorentina class, instructs about the types and cuts of meat as a butcher comes into the kitchen to show how the bistecca is cut before grilling the beef. An important part of the large group experience is sitting down together for a full meal, digesting the lessons learned and enjoying the end results.
