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.
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!

My husband and I spent a wonderful evening in Silvia's kitchen and had a personalized cooking class. We wanted to learn to make pasta and I had said 'no' to learning about gnocchi. Silvia asked why and said we always found gnocchi very tough. She taught us to make gnocchi that was so light, delicate, and flavorful we could hardly believe it. The pasta was also wonderful. This cooking class was the highlight of our two-week trip to Italy.

This cooking experience was top notch. Silvia shared her home and kitchen with us, making tiramisu and two pasta dishes. There were only 5 of us in the class so it was quite intimate and memorable. We made our pasta and dessert and consumed it with a choice of local wines. Thank you Silvia

"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!"
