Cooking class: you will learn to prepare a traditional dish
Shared Experience
Your experience
I will welcome you into my home, inside one of the oldest nurseries in Pistoia. In my kitchen I will teach you how to make egg pasta according to my family's tradition. You will be able to try kneading and rolling out the sheets with a rolling pin or with the small manual Imperia machine.
You will be able to choose from classic formats such as tagliatelle or farfalline or make garganelli (a type of macaroni from the Romagna tradition) or inganna-prit (a kind of mock cappelletti). You will be able to choose at the time whether to enjoy the pasta immediately topped with a Tuscan mascarpone and sausage sauce or take it home with you. The lesson and eventual consumption will be enhanced by a good local Tuscan red wine, printed recipes and numerous tips and anecdotes.

- Everything about the experience was first class. Luisa was very friendly and shared many of her family traditions and experiences in cooking. We learned so me neat tricks of the trade that will be used in our cooking. Definitely worth doing.
- Wat een leuke ochtend. Samen met Luisa 3 soorten pasta gemaakt. Wat het zo bijzonder maakt om bij Luisa de workshop te volgen, is dat je volledig meegenomen wordt in de familietraditie en ook nog de geschiedenis hoort van het familiebedrijf, de kwekerij. Erg interessant en boeiend. Dank je wel Luisa.
- Luisa was wonderful. The lunch she prepared for us was thoughtful and delicious. She recounted so many wonderful facts, stories and history. We will forever remember this meal, thank you.
- The cooking class with Luisa has been so much fun. She welcomed us into her home and made us feel like home as well. We made several shapes of egg pasta with the machine as well as by hand and then had a lovely meal with her sauce and the freshly made pasta. She then made us an espresso which we really enjoyed. Luisa's enthousiasm and warmth made the lesson so much fun, thank you so much Luisa! Would really recommend this class if you are in the neighbourhood of Pistoia (we drove 30 min from Lucca).
- We had the best experience with Luisa! She was so friendly and welcoming. We started with the tiramisu and then made 2 different types of pasta and 3 different shapes of filled pasta. Luisa also turned the pasta into a delicious meal, and we ate everything we made together. Luisa was also very knowledgeable and explained the history of certain pasta and the local area! I can’t recommend this experience enough, we had the best time!

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."
