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.

- Luisa was a marvelous teacher. She welcomed us into her home like family. Taught us some amazing bread making techniques and had an amazing lunch with her. Amazing food, teacher, and dogs. Thank you again Luisa!
- Insieme a Luisa abbiamo trascorso un bellissimo pomeriggio…ci ha accolto a casa sua con gentilezza e simpatia e ci ha insegnato i trucchetti per realizzare dei buonissimi piatti della tradizione, che poi abbiamo cotto e assaggiato insieme! E’ stata un’esperienza che consiglio a tutti e fa riscoprire la bellezza della semplicità !Grazie Luisa

Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia Languages: Italian and English"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."
