I am delighted to invite you to discover the secrets of focaccia and Umbrian torta al testo at my cookery school in the historic centre of Assisi. You’ll enjoy an authentic and convivial experience, where I’ll guide you step by step through the preparation of two traditional Umbrian specialities.
We’ll start with a welcome aperitif made with local produce. Then I’ll teach you how to make homemade focaccia and the traditional torta al testo, an Umbrian speciality cooked on a stone griddle called a ‘testo’. At the end of the class, there’ll be a short tasting of what we’ve prepared. The main aim of the cookery school is to teach traditional techniques and recipes in a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.

- Eleonora was amazing! My wife and I took the sauce cooking class. It was amazing to learn different authentic recipes (carbonara, Amatriciana, and norcina). It’s a great environment and we were with 4 other people. We got to eat them all and had a bottle of wine as well. Highly recommend!
- Eleonora was spectacular. She was very thorough in her presentation and very encouraging but not afraid to correct our mistakes. Highly recommend
- Eleanora was so nice and patient and she is so professional. We actually learned how to make pasta! We had a lovely time!
- Eleanora was so fantastic. What a lovely lady. We enjoyed her lessons so much. She spent extra time with us. We enjoyed the cheese and wine tasting beforehand as well. I did so much we even purchased wine and olive oil to have sent home. Her grandson’s run the wine, cheese and olive oil store and they are absolutely adorable and knowledgeable.
- Amazing experience. Enjoyed the culture, cooking and comraderie. Highly recommended

Where
Eleonora’s Cooking School
Cesarina from 2022Location: Assisi (PG) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy name is Eleonora and I run a cooking school in the heart of Assisi, where I share my greatest passion every day: Umbrian cuisine. It is a welcoming place where you learn by doing, through recipes, techniques, and traditions, in a friendly and convivial atmosphere. The experiences end with a short tasting of the dishes prepared together, because the main goal of the cooking school is to pass on techniques and tips so that each guest can easily recreate the recipes at home. I live and work surrounded by the beauty of Umbria and its produce, which follows the rhythm of the seasons. In my cooking school, I like to share Umbrian culinary traditions with my guests, enhancing local flavors and using fresh ingredients grown in nearby fields.
