Your experience
Tuscan schiacciata
Thin pizza (without yeast)
There is no "best" way to make bread, but rather the way that best suits your personality and lifestyle. All you need is an electric oven, a few utensils, and a few basic rules: in just a few hours, you can taste your homemade bread. During this course, suitable for all ages, we will prepare Tuscan schiacciata and thin pizza without yeast. You can do it with me and, once you get home, create and enjoy your own bread in just 3 hours. During the lesson, you will receive general information on Italian and foreign bread making, knead dough, and learn tricks and secrets about dough, baking, shapes, and textures. You will be provided with handouts containing all the information and recipes for the two types of bread prepared during the course.
Luisa made us feel at home in her place. She took the time to explain everything in detail. Also the rich history wasn’t left behind. The pasta course was easy to follow and great to do. After making the pasta, Luisa looked it with mascarpone and sausage while we enjoyed a great tasteful cold white wine. The pasta lunch was great, and next to the flavor you could taste the difference between the 3 kinds of pasta we made. Luisa is highly recommended, the place is easy to reach and the atmosphere in her home made the whole experience feel authentic. Thank you Luisa

We had a lit of fun coocking with Louisa. She makes everybody feel at ease and lets everybody have their own style when making pasta. We left with a wish to make more and with great recipes and a lot of good stories about the region and Italy as a whole.

We took a fantastic cooking workshop with Luisa! From the moment we walked in, we immediately felt welcome in her authentic Italian kitchen. Luisa is an incredibly friendly and hospitable woman who speaks with great passion about Italian cuisine and her family. Throughout the session, she shared fun stories and facts from the past, which made the workshop extra special.
Everything was prepared to perfection, allowing us to make delicious fresh pasta ourselves in a relaxed atmosphere. It was not only educational but, above all, incredibly cozy.
We had a wonderful evening and wholeheartedly recommend this cooking workshop to anyone in the area. A unique and atmospheric experience that truly completes your holiday!

"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."
