Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
From milk to cheese, but all plant-based! I look forward to a tasty experience, where you will prepare and taste a vegan Stracchino to be paired with a seeded piadina, a cashew-based semi-mature cheese on crostoni with caramelized onions, and finally, almond ricotta that will be the delicious filling along with vegetables in our ravioli. Unmissable is the Veneto dessert par excellence...the vegetable-based Tiramisu!
What a fabulous experience!!! Catia made our cooking class such an enjoyable evening. We truly learned so much about making Tiramisu, Bigoli, and a simple sauce. Catia’s appetizers were beyond delicious, and we learned so much about the food and culture of this region. If you are looking for a truly authentic experience with a talented hostess, don’t hesitate to book this experience. A HUGE thank you to Catia for a great evening, and for treating us like family! We have made a wonderful friend in Padova!❤️

It was my first time to Padua and I was looking for an authentic experience where I could learn about the City and the cuisine that makes it special .I was so lucky to have found this tour with Catia who went out of her way to provide a wonderful experience that I will cherish forever! She was so hospitable from a detailed tour of Padua, that included all the best attractions, to opening up her home to me , where I learned how to make Bigoli and Tiramisù. She showed me the proper thecniques of making and kneading dough, and taught me how to make and serve a plate of appetizer that was made using the freshest flavors of the Summer. Her home, her family her garden and knowledge of cooking and the City's History - is a truly gift. Every visitor of Padua should experience!

I had Catia as a host. She is wanderful and inspiring woman. I was lucky that the course took place, despite being alone . Thus was very individual and tailored entirely to me. It is important to note that there is no Market on Sunday's. In place of that Catia gave me a small city tour. The cooking class than took place at her home. Every thing was very personal and well organized . Catia is a really good cook and can explain everything well. You get involved a lot and learn a lot. The food was very delicious. I will definitely come back !
Catia is highly recommended !

Cesarina from 2020Location: Padua Languages: Italian and English
Catia, our Cesarina, lives on the outskirts of Padua, a city full of treasures to be discovered. Art, culture, history and gastronomy, imposing squares, alleys and shops, nothing is really missing. Even in our Cesarina's home nothing is missing: delicacies that trace the typical Venetian and Paduan flavors, made with raw materials, most of which come from farms in the area.
