Culinary experience at a Cesarina's home in Stresa

Stresa is an elegant and charming town on Lake Maggiore, full of luxurious hotels, period buildings, and beautiful Art Nouveau villas. It’s very pleasant to take a walk along the lakeside promenade, among flower gardens and small restaurants. The small historic city center is very picturesque, with nineteenth-century buildings, terraces full of flowers — and my cozy home. You could say I was born in a hotel. I lived in one until I was 12 years old. In my family’s hotel, I would prepare a snack in the restaurant, eat in the dining room, and the staff would make me simple desserts. My passion for the culinary arts was nurtured in that environment — and now, I’m a Cesarina!
