Hostage Situation Pending Written Reviews in Florence
Was it a cooking class or a tourist trap?
As a self-certified foodie, I make it a point to take a cooking class or food tour on my travels. I loved the Food and Wine tour in Barcelona, where we visited so many local places and were introduced to foods I would otherwise not have known about. That’s where I fell in love with the Spanish Vermouth!
In Cusco, Peru, I loved the market tour that ended at a cooking studio, where I learned to make two cocktails and three dishes, all while being a bit tipsy. It was a lot of fun. This year, I went on a girls' trip to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday. We were in Paris, Florence, and Tuscany.
While in Florence (aka Firenze), I wanted to treat us all to a cooking experience. There are a gazillion cooking classes that come up on searches. Everyone is selling a pasta-making class of sorts. How does one choose one class over the other?
I rely heavily on reviews from previous customers, and I make it a point to pay it forward by leaving reviews myself. As I was scrolling through the different classes, I came across one with only 5-star ratings and reviews.
The tag line was “Best Cooking Class in Florence.”
