Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Piadina (traditional flat bread)
Fried pizza
Tigelle
I will teach you how to make three types of bread from the Tuscan-Romagnola peasant tradition. They are simple doughs but rich in flavor and different textures. Piadina is known all over the world, but remember that the real thing is made with flour and lard. There is also a fried version and tigelle cooked in a cast-iron mold. During the course, you will be provided with handouts with the recipes and you can taste what you have prepared accompanied by soft cheeses and traditional Italian cold cuts.
We loved learning to make three pasta shapes with Luisa! It was a private lesson in her lovely farm house kitchen. She was such a good teacher and the sauce she made to top it off was amazing. If you are in Pistoia book this. Her smile and the memories will live in your ❤️

Today we took part in a pasta workshop at the home of the lovely and cheerful Luisa. It was very relaxing and fun. And now we know the secret to making pasta: it's simpler than you think! ;) Thank you, dear Luisa, for your enthusiasm and your hospitality.

The cooking class takes place in her own kitchen, which creates a warm and homely atmosphere. Luisa explains step-by-step how to make a delicious pasta, making everything easy to follow. She speaks enthusiastically not only about the cooking and the ingredients, but also about the surrounding environment and culture. There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Afterwards, we enjoyed a cozy meal together, accompanied by a nice glass of wine. A relaxed, personal, and tasty experience that is definitely recommended!

"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."
