I will be happy to host you in my home where we will cook while enjoying the view of Florence and taste the dishes we will create together.
I will offer you a cooking class with three recipes (appetizer, fresh pasta dish and dessert) and amidst chatter and laughter I will tell you about the family origin of my recipes and the secrets of executing them just as my mother and grandmother did.

- It can be nerve wracking going into someone else’s home to learn a new skill, but with Cecilia we immediately felt comfortable and were excited to get started! She was an excellent teacher, gave all of us opportunities to practice the techniques, and everything we made was incredibly delicious. Most of all, we enjoyed getting to know Cecilia and spend time sharing stories. She was warm, generous, passionate and funny! And to top it all off, she has the most beautiful home with stunning views of the city!
- Cecelia was warm, welcoming, and a fantastic teacher! My husband and I truly enjoyed the experience and hope we can recreate the recipes at home. We loved this experience!
- Cecilia was just delightful and so welcoming. Her knowledge was spot on and her hospitality was so warm. Thankyou Cecilia. I will be taking everything I have learnt back to my family, friends and my food studebts back home
- We had the most amazing time with Cecilia. She is an incredibly generous and welcoming host who made the entire experience from start to finish an absolute joy. We learned how to make Tiramisu from scratch (our favourite desert, so no more buying it ready made for us!) and ricotta and spinach ravioli with fresh pasta. On finding out that orecchiette was my favourite type of pasta Cecilia even taught us how to make that, along with a few others, as a bonus! We then got to enjoy the fruits of our labours with some gorgeous local wine and enjoy the stunning view of Florence from the windows. This was our favourite thing that we did in Florence and was worth every penny! I cannot recommend doing this highly enough. Thank you so much Cecilia!
- My husband and I came to Italy for our honeymoon and really wanted to try a cooking class while we were here. We cannot recommend this experience with Cecilia enough! Immediately upon arriving Cecilia was welcoming and warm. We made tiramisu and homemade ravioli, which were both incredible. Neither of us had ever made pasta before, so she as careful to explain the technique, demonstrate, and then guide us in doing it on our own. She even showed us how to make some other pasta shapes! She also offered us some pecorino cheese with her homemade fig jam, which was absolutely incredible. We enjoyed dinner in her dining room with a bottle of Chianti wine and chatted over dinner, while she gave us some tips on great local spots and other helpful information for the rest of our trip. If you will be in Florence, this cooking class with Cecilia is a must do!!! Although our honeymoon is not done yet, I can confidently say that this will be one of the highlights of our trip.

Cesarina from 2018Location: Florence Languages: Italian and EnglishAt the top end of a road just outside the historic center of Florence, across from the park of the Stibbert Museum, our Cesarina opens the doors to her home from with a splendid view of the city.
“Cooking amuses me and always puts me in a good mood. I’m constantly on the lookout for the perfect recipe, and when I find it I guard it as though it was a treasure chest!”. Cecilia’s is a simple, but unquestionably tasty cuisine: “I like inviting friends home, without any formalities, offering them the best I can”.
