Shared Experience
Your experience

    I will welcome you to my kitchen, located in the old farmhouse inside one of the oldest nurseries in Pistoia. Together, we will immerse ourselves in the preparation of real Tuscan bread, following a recipe I learned from one of the bakers who helped draft the Pane Toscano specification. This unique bread, devoid of salt and composed only of flour, yeast and water, represents an authentic tradition. You will have the opportunity to experiment with different bread formats as I share insights on flours, various methods of rising and baking, as well as share original tricks and ways I have developed over time. At the end of the class, you will receive detailed recipe handouts and have the opportunity to take home all the bread.

    Esperienza con la signora Luisa ottima. Luisa, molto ospitale e gentile, ci ha seguiti passo per passo nella preparazione di alcuni tipi di pasta ed è stata un’esperienza molto interessante e piacevole. Da fare nuovamente grazie

    A wonderful cooking class in a warm, family-style atmosphere. Luisa was a thoughtful and attentive host, carefully listening also to our gluten-free dietary needs and making everyone feel truly welcome. Making fresh pasta together, surrounded by conversation and laughter, turned the experience into something authentic, inclusive, and genuinely special!

    Luisa’s pasta class was authentic and beautiful! She invited you into her home, where she is excellent at explaining the traditional customs of pasta making. It felt like family and home and Tuscan hospitality all wrapped up into one. Bellissimo!

    Luisa was very accommodating and nice. We felt comfortable at her place. It was like a nice cooking evening with friends. We were allowed to do everything ourselves and she explained everything super well. I would do it again, but I can make great pasta now thanks to Luisa

    That was an excellent experience! Luisa is not only a great tutor who shared all her recipes and tips for making perfect pasta and tiramisu, but she also helped us understand Italian culture and the true essence behind Italian cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed the class and highly recommend it for a wonderful experience!

    "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."
