I’ll welcome you into my home for a journey of discovery through authentic traditional flavours, featuring family recipes passed down through the generations. In this cookery class, we’ll prepare three specialities together: a typical local starter, a first course of fresh, handmade pasta and a delicious tiramisu. You’ll learn how to make the dough, roll out the pasta and shape it, following the secrets of my family recipe book. Each participant will be provided with an apron and all the necessary equipment. At the end, we’ll enjoy our creations together, accompanied by a selection of wines paired with the menu, in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Beatrice was a pure joy! You'll arrive at Beatrice's cheerful apartment, where she has impeccably prepared for your experience, from garden-picked herbs to her favorite local cheese. She is upbeat and funny, prepare to be entertained with stories of her family, her relationship with pasta, and the importance of espresso.

We had a fantastic experience with Bea making fresh pasta, tiramisu and bruschetta. She was a fantastic host and teacher, she made us feel incredibly welcome and was very patient and encouraging with children during the lesson. Would highly recommend.

Beatrice was a wonderful host and a patient, engaging, and informative instructor. Our lesson and homemade meal with Beatrice was a highlight of our trip to Italy. Beatrice went out of her way to provide alternatives to accommodate my son's milk allergy without compromising the quality or authenticity of the meal. We all very much appreciated Beatrice's warm, encouraging, and clear teaching style. We highly recommend cooking classes by Beatrice, and we enjoyed the experience immensely.

We had a fantastic time with Bea! She not only taught us how to create the dishes, she passed along some great tips and tricks that she has learned from experience and from being passed down to her. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was fun, overall a great time. Whenever we return to Como, we will look to do another class with Bea!

Rave review for our cooking class with Beatrice! She is so friendly, warm and an expert chef. We did make two pastas and tiramisu but also learned how to make two simple sauces and Italian culinary culture. My husband and I had a truly delightful learning experience. Cannot recommend her highly enough - don’t miss the opportunity to spend an evening with Beatrice!

This is how Cesarina Bea welcomes us to her cozy home in the historical town center of Como, located within walking distance of the lake. Como is a fascinating city full of charm and history, as is Bea’s cooking - "my cooking speaks of the past" – uniting tradition with a strong creative flair. Tradition and creativity are the characteristics that distinguished Bea during her participation on the sixth edition of Bake off Italia, a cooking show dedicated to preparing traditional Italian sweets. Now, after this extraordinary event, our Cesarina awaits us for an unforgettable culinary experience...
