Recent reviews of Tuscan Cooking Class
- 5/5 from Sidney Malak, attended Jan 2026: My wife and I really enjoyed this class right after New Years! We ended up having a smaller class size, which was nice for us because we're not super experienced cooks, so we got a chance to work with the chef pretty closely. The facility is very well stocked, clean, and laid out conveniently for a class. You get a lot of hands on experience with this class and the chef was good about explaining the techniques and the reasons behind them. The food ended up being very tasty as well so it was a win-win experience. I recommend this class to anyone looking to become more familiar with Tuscan cooking and who has some cooking experience.

Chef Mat Wertleib
5.0 (1)
Growing up in a family full of chefs and kosher caterers in New Jersey, Mat Wertlieb has felt at home in a kitchen since childhood. He first fell in love with the unique culinary scene of the Bay Area while working an externship at One Market Restaurant in 2000. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, he spent a year and a half in Boston’s busiest restaurant, Grill 23, before the pull of Northern California’s food culture drew him back. He has worked for the past decade at some of the most successful restaurants in San Francisco and Berkeley, including Lark Creek Inn, Farallon, Lalimes, and Gather. Trips to Italy and Israel furthered his exposure and passion for the various cuisines of the world. Chef Mat now works part-time at Gather restaurant when he is not teaching classes with the Kitchen on Fire team.
