Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
- Mixed local appetizers with pickled eggplant
- Eggplant parmigiana and roasted split eggplant
- House sweets and coffee
The ultimate summer vegetable, eggplant is the queen of Mediterranean cuisine: grilled, pickled, with pasta, baked, or in the timeless parmigiana. Eggplant parmigiana tastes like home and lazy Sundays, with the aroma of the sauce filling the kitchen. Soft layers of fried or grilled eggplant are combined with fresh tomato sauce, basil, and plenty of Parmesan cheese, with a stringy mozzarella center that wins you over at first bite. Every forkful is a journey into the most authentic flavors. We will prepare it together: hands in the dough, laughter, and the delicious aroma from the oven, accompanied by typical local tastings and glasses of wine.

- Filomena was an amazing teacher and cook. We learned a lot about eggplant and Italian cooking and so enjoyed spending time with Filomena and her daughter!!! She totally spoiled us and took us on a quick tour of her town. An exceptional experience and a highlight of our trip.

Cesarina from 2025Location: Matera Languages: Italian, English, SpanishIn my kitchen, I use only top-quality ingredients, carefully chosen from local producers, and prepared with attention, using the "star" ingredient—our extra virgin olive oil, produced with passion and dedication. I don’t have a single dish that represents me because every day of the year brings a different specialty, created based on the seasonal availability of ingredients and what’s fresh at the moment. The one ingredient that never misses is love—the love I put into preparing and serving each dish, to offer an authentic and unforgettable experience.
