Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

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.

    Luisa was a very friendly woman. She gives you a homely feeling. We make pizza and ice Cream. It was very nice. The ice Cream was lovely! Very good wine also. She give us some pizza to take away. Keep going on Luisa! 😊🤗

    Today we took part in a pasta workshop at the home of the lovely and cheerful Luisa. It was very relaxing and fun. And now we know the secret to making pasta: it's simpler than you think! ;) Thank you, dear Luisa, for your enthusiasm and your hospitality.

    The cooking class takes place in her own kitchen, which creates a warm and homely atmosphere. Luisa explains step-by-step how to make a delicious pasta, making everything easy to follow. She speaks enthusiastically not only about the cooking and the ingredients, but also about the surrounding environment and culture. There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Afterwards, we enjoyed a cozy meal together, accompanied by a nice glass of wine. A relaxed, personal, and tasty experience that is definitely recommended!

    Luisa is a teacher of life. She teaches with great dedication and welcomed us into her kitchen with the typical warmth of a mother. We had fun and learned a lot. A unique and unforgettable experience.

    On August 18th, we took a fresh pasta class with Luisa Ghetti (Luvi), and it was simply fantastic. We completed the entire cycle: transforming flour and eggs into dough, kneading, preparing, cutting, and best of all, sitting at the table and eating the result of our work. You could have finished with a nice Tuscan wine, but since I was driving, water was enough. The conversation flowed wonderfully, about plants, our lives, and a little bit of everything. It was an incredible experience in a dream kitchen, where we felt like we were living a true Italian moment in the heart of Tuscany. We loved meeting Luisa and learning that she is involved in numerous incredible activities, such as writing books. Thank you so much, Luisa.

    "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."
