Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
In this cooking class, we will learn together how to make a traditional recipe, a simple dish that is rich in flavor. It is prepared with stale bread softened in boiled chickpea broth, enriched with sautéed onion in plenty of extra virgin olive oil with the addition of sweet paprika.
It is a home-style recipe, one of those that smell of love and tradition, just like my grandmother used to make, capable of transforming a few simple ingredients into authentic comfort food. You will also taste typical local products, all accompanied by excellent wine and ending on a sweet note with some almond paste.

- We had an amazing cooking class / experience. I am so glad I did not chose one of those large classes inside some building. This class felt more like visiting old friends. Warm and kind. We learned more than what I signed up for. Highly recommend a class with Filomena (Cesarine). Would love to do it again and again.
- Excellent!
- Filomena and Antonella were amazing. Not only was Filomena a fabulous host and teacher she welcomed us into her home and made us feel right at home. her daughter was a gem! The instruction and the 3 course meal we prepared was excellent. I cannot wait to get home and make it all over again. Teaching us to make three pastas exceeded our expectations as well. Great Pulia experience, Bravo! 🇮🇹
- It was a great experience and I loved seeing her home and gardens . It was an opportunity to experience real italian day to day life with a wonderful meal we helped prepare and enjoy . 💕
- I had a wonderful time learning to make pasta and tiramisu with Filomena! It was fun and tasty. Her and her family made me feel very welcome. I highly recommend a class with Filomena.

Filomena was a gracious host! She welcomed us in her home like we were family! Showed us how to make several different pasta's, Egglant appetizer and Tiramisu. We sat at her beautiful outdoor patio and enjoyed a delicious home made pasta, with sausage and mushrooms. It was sooooo good! Can't wait to make it when I go home. Her daughter Antonella was adorable and loved hearing how the young adults live in. Puglia. I would recommend this cooking class to anyone! Ciao! -

Cesarina from 2025Location: Matera (MT) Languages: Italian and EnglishIn 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.
