Giuliano Bugialli is the most popular Italian cooking teacher in the US. The combination of his deep knowledge, remarkable technique and theatrical charisma consistently attract record-breaking audiences to his classes. In 1973, Giuliano founded Cooking in Florence, the first cooking school in Italy taught in English. His aim was to provide a well-rounded base for the study of Italian cuisine, by combining the finest cooking instruction with a full immersion in the local culture.
Cooking in Florence includes five full-participation cooking classes followed by a complete meal with appropriate wines. Giuliano teaches every class himself and each student learns to make pasta, focacce, etc. under his personal supervision. Classes are taught in the state-of-the-art kitchen in Giuliano's fifteenth-century farmhouse. Techniques are demonstrated; then students choose the dishes they want to prepare from the day's roster of recipes. Each week features about 35 recipes and dozens of wines.
Each day's schedule varies, with the other events of the day determining whether the cooking lesson begins in the morning or early afternoon and if dinner is in the city or the country at an elegant restaurant, rustic trattoria, or at the school. Each restaurant menu is personally supervised by Giuliano and chefs take pride in preparing their most delectable specialties for the group.
Each program includes special events, with emphasis on providing those moments that the ordinary tourist would never have. Students who have attended the school agree that no description can convey the richness and variety of the programs.
Giuliano Bugialli is author of The Fine Art of Italian Cooking, Tastemaker Award winners Giuliano Bugialli's Classic Techniques of Italian Cooking, Giuliano Bugialli's Foods of Italy, Julia Child Award winner Foods of Sicily & Sardinia.
