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.

Luisa was an incredible teacher and gracious host. She was inviting from minute we arrived with our crazy family. The instructions were clear and she included some family and Italian history along the way. There were many different shapes she taught us. We had so much fun the class flew by and before we knew it we feasted on amazing pasta with a tasty sauce!

Very cozy and personal experience with our teacher Louisa who guided us through the process in an extremely pleasant way. She presented everything in a way that is easy to remember. A super coach!!! Loved her home and the cute little dog ♥️ Strongly recommended if you wish an authentic experience of making pasta!

Taina Aurora - 

Today we took part in a fun traditional Italian cooking experience, being welcomed by the hostess, Luisa, with great cordiality and kindness. She guided us step by step, in a clear manner, through all the procedures for the two recipes to be made. If you want to test yourself in the kitchen in a family-like environment, this is the place for you!

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 ❤️

"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."
