Shared Experience
Your experience
- Traditional mix appetizers
Welcome to my home in the heart of Turin, where you will be welcomed for a unique dining experience inspired by the Piedmontese tradition of the merenda sinoira. This cold meal, usually eaten around 5 p.m. and extended until dinnertime, is considered the mother of all apericena in the world!
I will guide you through a selection of traditional dishes prepared with high-quality local ingredients, such as cured meats and cheeses typical of the region, accompanied by freshly baked bread and breadsticks. I will also show you how to prepare some of the dishes, so that you can take home with you the techniques and recipes to replicate this unique experience. I look forward to a special evening of tasting and great company in the heart of Turin.

- A wonderful experience in the daily life of an Italian family. A big thank you to Benedetta, the nonna, and Zoé for teaching us the art of pasta and introducing us to the Turin lifestyle. We recommend this experience without hesitation!
- It was the best workshop ever!! We had such a fun experience, this was thanks to the really nice host Benedetta. I recommend this workshop to all!!
- I spent my birthday at Benedetta's house, in this cooking experience that truly made me feel new emotions. She taught us how to cook pasta and tiramisu with precision and sweetness. We ate amidst laughter and anecdotes with her lovely family, where you can feel the feminine energy, in a stunning home. The tiramisu tasted like my grandmother's. An unforgettable evening.
- I had this experience with my dad. Benedetta and her family accompanied us on a wonderful experience filled with tradition and conviviality. A beautiful activity to share. I absolutely recommend it.
- In addition to being an excellent chef, Benedetta is deeply passionate about her students and is a gracious hostess. Learning how to make fresh pasta had been a long-time wish of mine, and Benedetta and her mother made it happen wonderfully. It was like sharing a family lunch, complete with cheeses, salads, wine, pasta, and tiramisu to finish. Thank you, Benedetta, for this extraordinary experience.

Cesarina from 2018Location: Turin (TO) Languages: Italian, French, EnglishSeductive, regal, and a little French — that’s Turin. There’s always something to do here: from the Mole Antonelliana to the Reggia di Venaria, from chocolate treats to a special dinner... at my house. I’ve nurtured a passion for the culinary arts since I was little, growing up surrounded by good food and traditional Piedmontese recipes, always prepared with fresh produce from the local markets. Simplicity, a light touch, and excellent ingredients are the foundation of my cooking. I also love blending tradition with a touch of originality and innovation — a passion that comes naturally to me, thanks to my background in art and design, which is also my profession.
