Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
I am waiting for you in the warm atmosphere of my home, inspired by the farmhouses of the Tuscan countryside, to enjoy an authentic cooking experience together. We will prepare three tasty dishes that tell the flavor of Tuscany. We will start with cabbage couscous, rich in Italian scents and surprisingly delicious. We will continue with chickpea farinata, a traditional Tuscan recipe, perfect on its own or with creative pairings. We will close with a special dessert: chocolate and pera picciòla, a rare and typical fruit of our area. A culinary experience between flavors, tradition and conviviality!
Our host family was gracious and so kind. Unfortunately her translator had a last minute emergency and could not attend. Our host/chef spoke very little English so instructions were difficult.
Her next door neighbor, who spoke some English came over to assist. Everyone was so gracious and tried their best to communicate. In the end it was a delightful experience to be in the home of a wonderful Italian family.

We had such a great cooking experience with Silvia! We had 2 kids with us and she was so patient in teaching them. It was one of our favorite experiences of the trip! We felt like family with her!

My cuisine is a blend of creativity and tradition. I prefer using locally sourced ingredients from trusted small-scale producers. This approach allows me to add an innovative touch to traditional dishes while maintaining a deep connection with the local culinary heritage and supporting sustainable practices within the community.
