Your experience
  • Parmesan cheese baskets
  • Gnocchi with sausage ragu
  • Zuppa Inglese

Gnocchi are the dish that most reminds me of my grandmother: when she made them, it was a celebration, and I was always there with her to help. With this dish, I want to wrap everyone in her warm embrace. The sausage ragù, which we'll use to dress the gnocchi, carries the intense flavor of the Umbrian lands. Before the gnocchi, we will prepare Parmesan and mortadella baskets: a marriage of flavors made even more delicious with stracciatella and a sprinkle of pistachio. We’ll conclude the lesson with zuppa inglese, a traditional dessert, where layers of cream and chocolate are separated by the red of alchermes: a burst of fragrance and sweetness!

Laura and her husband Luca were so warm, and welcoming I had a wonderful time. We made spaghetti using the pasta machine, then on a mandolin and ravioli with Laura's grandmother’s traditional roller. We also made Tiramisu in dainty china cups (a family heirloom). We had a fabulous lunch of the pasta we made, roast pork, vegetables and our tiramisu and wine with liqueur and coffee. It was such a memorable experience! Thank you Laura I wish you and your lovely family and friends the very best.

Laura and her husband were very friendly and welcoming. We made pasta and tiramisu. She explained tehe differences in dough. Too bad she only gets a small amount paid for her work, most of the payment goes to the network.

We had a fantastic evening with Laura and her husband Luca. They are both great cooks. It was wonderful to be invited into their cosy home. They showed us Italian cuisine, taught us how to make spaghetti, ravioli, tortellini and tiramisu while explaining Italian history and traditions. Definitely highly recommended and a highlight of our holiday!

A beautiful experience! I was together with my 15 year old daughter. We both were very impressed with Laura's workshop. A must do activity in Perugia.

Cesarina from 2020Location: Perugia    Languages: English, French, Italian
Cesarina 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.
