Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
I will host you inside the farmhouse located in one of the oldest nurseries in Pistoia. In my kitchen, we will immerse ourselves in the preparation of numerous formats of traditional Italian stuffed pasta. I will share with you the technique for kneading and rolling out egg pasta sheets, using both a rolling pin and a machine. You will have the opportunity to create ravioli of different sizes and cappelletti in a variety of shapes and sizes. We will conclude the experience by making stuffed quadrucci, an ancient and wholesome pasta to be enjoyed in broth. I will provide you with detailed recipe handouts so that you can replicate the experience at home. You will also have the opportunity to taste the fruits of your labor directly with me or take them home.

- 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!

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."
