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.

- Excellent! Recommend highly especially for those interested in cooking. A first rate cultural experience.
- We had a very fun afternoon, making pasta with Luisa. She showed us how to make traditional egg pasta with her family's recipe. She shared her knowledge and experience by telling us how to make bigger quantities and the insight about the diffrent pasta making techniques. Afterwards we ate the self-made pasta while enjoying a good glass of local wine. Besides the talk about pasta, Luisa also told us about family tradition, history, Pistoia and more. We would recommend booking a cooking class by Luisa!
- We had a really Nice time with Luisa. She learned us how to make pasta and she told us lots of information about pasta, the differences between Italian regions and Pistoia. Would recommend everyone! ❤️
- Lots of fun and very informative, not just about cooking but also the history. A bit of hard work but a very tasty dinner as a reward!
- What a lovely evening spent in Luisas charming home! The food was delicious and Luisa so kind and full of knowledge on so many topics , as well as of the food and origin. A lady with lots of energy, creativity and willingness to share knowledge and exchange experiences in kitchen and Life. Thank you for an amazing time! 🤩

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."
