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.

- ho partecipato con una amica alla lezione sulla pasta fresca della Cesarina Luisa G. la lezione è stata molto interessante e ricca di spunti, Luisa si è dimostrata preparata e molto cordiale, ci ha divertito molto raccontandoci un sacco di aneddoti sulla storia della cucina emiliana. Sicuramente un'esperienza da ripetere.Lisa
- Mi è stata regalata questa lezione di pasta all’uovo per il mio compleanno. Devo dire che più che lezione è stata una esperienza. Luisa, oltre a spiegare e farci vedere come si realizza la pasta all’uovo, ci ha raccontato anedotti e svelato trucchetti su come riuscire al meglio in questa arte.
- From the moment we entered Luisa’s beautiful kitchen we felt like old friends. She started with sharing stories of her family and then her love of cooking. It was so easy to just start cooking. The pastas were perfect. She unlocked for us the mystery of making delicious and traditionally shaped pasta. Then we sat down and enjoyed a amazing meal and many more stories. Luisa gave us precious memories of our time in Pistoia and the gift of pasta making that’swe will be sharing with our grandchildren when we return home. We look forward to coming back to Pistoia and having another evening with our new friend.
- 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
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."
