Menus and cuisines
Private chef for Tuscan cuisine
Tuscan cooking is about a few ingredients chosen well: bread, olive oil, beans, meat over the grill. A private chef brings it to your kitchen, whether you are in Tuscany or elsewhere in Italy.
Simple food that needs a skilled hand
Bread soups, hand-rolled pasta, slow-cooked meat: Tuscan dishes look simple, but they only work with the right ingredients and proper timing. The chef shops, cooks and serves at the table, then leaves the kitchen clean.
You can ask for a full Tuscan menu or just a few classics within a broader one. Add it to the notes in your request and chefs reply with their proposals.
Classic dishes you can ask for
A few staples of the Tuscan table:
- Crostini toscani, fettunta and cured meats with pecorino
- Ribollita, pappa al pomodoro or panzanella in summer
- Pici with aglione garlic sauce or ragù
- Pappardelle with wild boar ragù
- Bistecca alla fiorentina with fagioli all’uccelletto
- Cantucci for dipping and castagnaccio
Where and how much
The chef can cook Tuscan food anywhere in Italy, not only in Tuscany: coverage is checked for each request. For groups of 5 or more the bands run from €40-60 to €90-110 per person; for up to 4 people from €80-120 per person.
Drinks are not included: to pair the menu with wine there is a separate sommelier service. For more than 10 people, events and cooking classes, the team handles things directly.
Frequently asked questions
Is the chef from Tuscany?
We do not promise that: chefs propose Tuscan menus based on their own experience. Every chef has uploaded a CV and HACCP certificate, and the proposal shows you the dishes before you choose.
Can I have a bistecca alla fiorentina?
Yes, ask for it in the notes. The chef considers the cut and cooking with the kitchen available and explains in the proposal how they will prepare it.
Can I book a Tuscan dinner outside Tuscany?
Yes, Tuscan cuisine can be requested anywhere. Coverage for your location is checked for each request.
Can I book a cooking class on making pici?
Cooking classes are handled directly by the team: mention it in your request and we will get in touch.
How do I pay?
Online, only after choosing a proposal. The chef receives your contact details only once you confirm.
