Hi there! Nice to meet you

Irene

Hi! I’m Irene, originally from Northern Italy but happily based in Florence for over 15 years. Cooking started as a passion and after years of experiences became my profession, the most beautiful way to connect with people!

I focus on local, fresh, and seasonal ingredients, i like to supporting local producers and traditions for preserving our culinary heritage.

I offer cooking classes (at home or in stunning city and countryside locations — and don’t worry, I will arrange transport when needed!), as well as private dining experiences tailored to your preferences, including gluten-free and vegan options.

My goal is to create unique, personal, and unforgettable experiences — a true taste of Italy, from my kitchen to your heart.
