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.

- I really enjoyed this class at Luisa’s lovely home. She was so sweet and accommodating to my daughter and I, offering a special fish dish since I do not eat meat. There was a special garlic and a goat cheese from the farm too that was delicious. Her directions to make simple homemade pasta was spot on and she even lit a candle with dessert to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. I would highly recommend this class.
- Luvi was such a gracious and welcoming host. I was the only one that evening and she made me feel at home as we chatted about the recipes and the history of each. It was like having dinner with a great friend, over wine and great conversation. I highly recommend Luvi, Cesarine, if you are ever in Florence, Pistoia area. I welcome the day that I return. Thank you Luvi 😊 💓
- Luisa was a wonderful instructor. We enjoyed our experience making many different types of pasta and then enjoying our creations that she prepared for us. She is very engaging, spoke very good English and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend the class!
- Wonderful evening with Louisa in her charming home. Louisa shared her family recipes with us as well as interesting facts about Pistoia. We really enjoyed the food and hospitality and would definitely recommend this experience.

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."
