Small loaves of bread
Pizzas and mini pizzas
There is no single best way to make bread, but rather the one that best suits your personality and lifestyle. All you need is an electric oven, a few utensils, and a few basic rules to be able to taste your bread in just a few hours. Let's make small leavened rolls, herb pizzas, and pizzas together. The lesson is suitable for all ages: you can participate with me and, once at home, continue to create and enjoy your bread in just three hours. During the course, I will provide you with general information on Italian and foreign bread making, you will knead dough and discover tricks and secrets about dough, baking, shapes, and textures. You will receive handouts with all the information and recipes for the breads made during the lesson.
We had a wonderful afternoon at Luisa's cooking class. So do not hesitate to book. Luisa is a warm and welcoming host who taught us a lot about making pasta. It felt special to be in her home and meet her lovely dog Summer. In total, we made three different types of pasta. We will certainly try to recreate this at home. Luisa's instructions were clear, and she also provided us with information to review later.
Thank you, Luisa, for a fun afternoon that ended with a delicious pasta meal.

Luisa, a very kind and helpful hostess, welcomed us into her home and shared some of her knowledge with us. At the end, we cooked together with her and concluded the wonderful morning with a good lunch, good wine, and lots of conversation. An experience to absolutely be had.

Mani in pasta -
This pasta class was so much more than just a pasta class. Luisa was warm, funny, patient, and taught us about the history of the pasta along with how to make it. We felt so comfortable in her home. It was a peaceful place- perfect for learning a new skill. We highly recommend this experience!
Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia (PT) 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."
