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.

    We had a wonderful afternoon at Luisa's cooking class. So do not hesitate to book. Luisa is a warm and welcoming host who taught us a lot about making pasta. It felt special to be in her home and meet her lovely dog Summer. In total, we made three different types of pasta. We will certainly try to recreate this at home. Luisa's instructions were clear, and she also provided us with information to review later. Thank you, Luisa, for a fun afternoon that ended with a delicious pasta meal.

    What a fabulous morning in this lovely lady’s beautiful home learning how to make pasta. My needs were thoughtfully accommodated (wheelchair user). My grown up son and I had an experience to treasure. Highly recommended

    We love the place, the house, the information, Luiza! There was so much time for making the pasta, eating and having nice conversations,,,, feels like we’re quests! Our advice: just do it!

    Luisa, a very kind and helpful hostess, welcomed us into her home and shared some of her knowledge with us. At the end, we cooked together with her and concluded the wonderful morning with a good lunch, good wine, and lots of conversation. An experience to absolutely be had.

    This pasta class was so much more than just a pasta class. Luisa was warm, funny, patient, and taught us about the history of the pasta along with how to make it. We felt so comfortable in her home. It was a peaceful place- perfect for learning a new skill. We highly recommend this 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."
