Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Vegetable flan with bagna cauda made with leeks from Cervere
  • A choice of fresh pasta: tajarin with ragù or agnolotti al plin
  • Bra sausage cooked in wine with seasonal vegetables
  • Desserts ranging from tiramisu to bunet

We’ll gather in my kitchen and prepare a full menu using some of the produce that has made this area even more special. We’ll make a vegetable flan to be served with ‘bagna cauda’ made with leeks from Cervere – a variation on the original recipe, which is usually made with garlic. This will be followed by a first course of your choice from a selection of fresh pasta, including tajarin and agnolotti al plin. For the main course, we simply must have Bra sausage cooked in wine; Pocapaglia is just a few minutes from Bra, the home of Slow Food, so we simply must pay tribute to it. Vegetarian alternatives are available. The meal concludes with a choice of dessert between tiramisu and bunet; my heart would always choose the bunet, a traditional, time-honoured dessert that originated right here in southern Piedmont.

Teresa was the most exceptional teacher and gracious host. My friends and I had such a beautiful day cooking and laughing with Teresa in her home. I will be making the dishes we made in the class for my family this Christmas! This is truly a once in a lifetime experience and you 1000000% must do it.

Teresa is a great host. It was very lovely to be welcomed into her home and meet her family. Also her passion for cooking really shows, its contagious! We had a great evening, and look forward to put our learned skills into practice at home!

My fiancée and I had an amazing time cooking with Teresa! She was extremely well prepared, knowledgable, and helped us cook an amazing meal. But most importantly she is among the most welcoming and generous people we met on our trip. I highly recommend her instruction if you’re in the area, and hope to come back the next time we are.

Absolutely great experience. The meal we cooked was fantastic, as was the conversation. I can’t wait to try the recipes at home.

A truly wonderful cooking experience in Piedmont! We had such a fantastic day with Teresa. From the very beginning, it felt warm, personal and relaxed — much less like a formal cooking class and much more like cooking with a very talented friend. Teresa is not only an excellent cook, but also a wonderful host and teacher. She explained everything with so much passion, patience and joy, and created an atmosphere where we felt completely welcome. We learned so much, especially about making pasta, and left not only with great recipes, but also with the feeling that we had experienced something truly special. She also sent us all the recipes and lots of additional information afterwards, which was incredibly thoughtful and helpful. And her homemade strawberry jam was absolutely delicious! We have already promised our family that we will make fresh pasta for them as soon as we are back in Germany — which says everything about how inspiring the day was. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an authentic, warm and memorable cooking experience in Piedmont. We would come back immediately. P.S.: also the wines were regional and fantastic

Cesarina from 2026Location: Pocapaglia (CN)    Languages: Italian, English, French
Cooking has always been a great passion of mine. Growing up in a large family, the table was always an important place for sharing and togetherness. Even today, in my home, there is a long table often surrounded by friends with whom I share ideas, emotions, challenges and plenty of laughter over good dishes from the Piedmontese tradition. When I cook, I enter almost a parallel world where everything feels lighter and clearer, and I feel energized again. I don’t have professional culinary qualifications, but I have gained a lot of experience from growing up in a large family where every occasion was a good reason to celebrate together, as well as from a close-knit group of friends who feel like family. I also enjoy dedicating some of my time to local associations by organizing charity dinners to support their activities. In the kitchen I love preparing the dishes I watched my grandmother make: winter afternoons spent making agnolotti al plin, braised meats, roasts, tajarin and ragù — all authentic flavors of the Piedmontese tradition from the Roero area.
