Hi from Maria Luisa!

Modena is a city rich in tradition, famous throughout the world for good food and passion for the automotive industry. On its hills, you can see castles, fortresses, towers, and medieval villages, testimonies of its history, in a landscape that satisfies mind and spirit. Luisa spent her childhood in grandmother's kitchen, surrounded by the aromas and flavors of peasant cuisine. Every day she smelled the scent of fresh homemade pasta, tigelle, and crescentine, and it was exactly her grandmother who taught her to 'put your hands in the dough’. Our Cesarina lives closer to the historic center, where she hides a real treasure: the old family vinegar factory, which she loves to show her guests.

Ottima esperienza, Maria Luisa è un'ospite eccezionale, ci siamo sentiti subito come a casa di un'amica. Ci ha cucinato cibo buonissimo e ha rispettato perfettamente ogni nostra richiesta. La consiglio sicuramente a chi vuole assaporare piatti tipici della zona di Modena.

Serata ed esperienza molto carina e piacevole sia per la lezione di cucina che ci ha permesso di imparare a preparare le “tigelle” sia per la parte conviviale e l’accoglienza. Un grazie di cuore a Luisa alla prossima.

Maria and Ilaria were absolutely amazing hosts and instructors. From the moment we walked into Maria’s home, we were welcomed and made to feel like family. We learned how to make pasta, tiramisu, and tortelloni — and then enjoyed every bite! Everything was delicious. My wife doesn’t eat meat, and they thoughtfully adjusted the menu so she could fully enjoy the experience as well. One of the highlights was tasting Maria’s own family balsamic vinegars, each aged to perfection. We sampled vintages from 1976 and 1984, as well as newer versions — a truly unforgettable experience that captured the spirit of Modena. I would absolutely, unequivocally recommend them to anyone visiting Modena who wants an authentic and memorable cooking class.
