Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
Lasagna is a symbol of conviviality and tradition, bringing back childhood memories and Sunday family gatherings. In this cooking class, we will prepare it from scratch: kneading fresh pasta dough, rolling it out with a rolling pin, and layering it with meat ragù, béchamel, and Parmesan. For vegetarians, we will create a delicious version with homemade pesto. We will complement the meal with fett’unta, rustic toasted bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. At the end of the lesson, we will sit together to enjoy the dishes we have prepared, accompanied by a fine Tuscan wine. An authentic experience for those who love Italian cuisine and its genuine flavors.
A wonderful experience. Could not have been any better. Silvia is a wonder cook and better person.

We loved our cooking class with Silvia. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Lucca.

Silvia was absolutely amazing and I would definitely recommend this experience with her in Lucca! She was an excellent teacher and the food she taught us to make was phenomenal. She also provided us with tons of local recommendations for shopping, food, and gelato, which were excellent as well!

Silvia was fabulous! We loved the food shopping, the tips only a true Italian would impart, her beautiful home, her lovely hospitality and of course, the food and its preparation. The experience was everything we had hoped it would be and more!

"I love to host and take care of the table, I always try to create a mise en place with some ingredient that recalls the menu or seasonality. I prefer to cook dishes of land, typical of the Tuscan tradition, I do not try too much in desserts... but only not to eat too many!"
