- Lovely time. Our host Laura was very personable.
- A wonderful experience! Thank you for opening your home to me.
- Laura and her 15 yo daughter welcomed us in to their home. They had pre-prepared many of the items: the dough for the Torte a la Teste, the white and chocolate cream for the Zuppe Inglese dessert, the sweet chili marmalede for the appetizer plate of various mozzarella and meats. Upon our arrival, the daughter started hand mixing the ingredients for the pasta dough. Laura worked on a sauce of scallions, cherry tomatoes etc. We were not involved in making those items. I had hoped to better learn how to make pasta and other doughs but we were not given the opportunity. They also made the filling to be used for ravioli and tortellini. Laura cut the various shapes and we were allowed to help fill and close those items but not to create the dough or prepare it to be cut into shapes. For the dessert, we were allowed to dunk the cookies into the liquer before the creams were added. Essentially it was more of a cooking demonstration rather than a hands on cooking class. So it depends on what you desire, we hoped to have a hands on experience. We were also served wine that had been open the day prior and eventually provided with a fresh bottle. Laura was very nice and obviously works very hard. I hope this review will encourage her to allow for more participation or to learn from the participant what they desire. We felt it was quite pricey considering what was prepared and what we received.

Where
Laura
Cesarina from 2020Location: Perugia Languages: English, French, ItalianCesarina Laura's house is surrounded by greenery, despite being a few kilometers from the historic center of Perugia. Umbria is a concentration of riches and tradition, where landscape, art and culture blend to create a respectable recipe. Cesarina Laura used to help her grandmother in the kitchen as a child, it is she who transmitted her passion for food and hospitality. At her table, traditional Umbrian cuisine: quality cured meats, as well as excellent homemade pasta, tasty sauces and desserts, linked to the religious, agricultural or life cycle calendar and generally with a profound ritual meaning.
