Prepare Authentic Italian Pizza
The first part of your class focuses on one of Italy’s most beloved tradition: Pizza!
Under the guidance of our chefs, you’ll:
✔ Mix and create the dough in the traditional way with top-quality kosher-certified ingredients
✔ Learn to cut it and roll it out to create the typical crust before baking it
✔ Prepare authentic sauces, emphasizing Tuscany’s farm-to-table philosophy
Tomato sauce, extra virgin olive oil, mozzarella, and basil for the iconic Margherita pizza. Add delicious seasonal vegetables such as mushrooms or zucchini cream for creative toppings.
Each dish will be crafted following kosher guidelines, so you can fully enjoy Italy’s culinary heritage with peace of mind (meat menù for pizza on request).
Master the Art of Ice Cream making
Next, it’s time to create another Italian icon: Ice Cream. Our chefs will show you:
✔ How to select the finest kosher-certified milk, cream, eggs and sugar
✔ How to turn these ingredients into creamy magic with the right advice and the right tools
Combine everything with delicious toppings prepared together, such as melted chocolate, berry sauce, crumbled cookies, or top it off with a cup of coffee to create the classic “affogato.”
Celebrate with Kosher Wine 🍷
Sit down together and celebrate your creations with a glass of excellent kosher wine, specially chosen to pair with your dishes. Share stories, laughter, and enjoy the warm atmosphere that makes dining in Italy so unique.

SiChef Firenze offers exclusively kosher-friendly introductory courses supervised by a certified Mashgiach. We do not offer courses tailored to an ultra-Orthodox clientele that requires specific attention. Our goal is to guarantee high-quality, locally sourced products that meet the standards of Jewish cuisine through a certified supply chain. Furthermore, all our food preparation processes are strictly segregated to ensure that meat-based foods never come into contact with dairy-based foods. Our courses are not intended solely for those who follow this dietary tradition, but for anyone interested in discovering this culinary culture.
For those interested in organizing special, private, or themed events related to kosher cuisine, whether following the strictest guidelines or ultra Orthodox practices, please submit a detailed request through our contact information.
