Cooking lesson: learn how to cook Italian recipes with a local Cesarina
Private Experience
Your experience
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.

- This experience was the highlight of our trip! Benedetta was an amazing host and excellent teacher! We are confident that we can make pasta and tiramisu at home now. We are so happy we got to enjoy a nice evening with her and her family!
- The ravioli was exceptional and Benedetta was a fantastic host.
- È stata un’esperienza bellissima con Benedetta ché ci ha imparato come fare la pasta! Non abbiamo visto le ore passare, ci siamo divertiti! Abbiamo mangiato quello fatto dalle nostre mani con la sua famiglia gentilissima. Adesso non vediamo l’ora di fare la pasta di nuovo a casa nostra!
- Esperienza fantastica e molto oltre le aspettative: benedetta non solo ci ha insegnato con pazienza e professionalità alcune ricette della tradizione, ma ci ha accolti come fossimo due di famiglia, assieme alla madre e alla sua bambina di 8 anni. Una più meravigliosa dell'altra. Ci siamo sentiti a casa, è stato davvero molto bello.
- Splendida serata! La preparazione della splendida cena, l’ambiente familiare e la professionalità e abilità nel gestire gli ospiti di Benedetta.. E’ stato tutto perfetto e apprezzato dagli ospiti italiani e non! Strongly recommended for business and family events!!

Where
Benedetta
Cesarina from 2018Location: Turin Languages: Italian, French, EnglishSeductive, regal and a little French. There is always something to do in Turin: from the “Mole” to Venaria, from chocolate treats to a special dinner at Benedetta's house. Our Cesarina nurtures a passion for the culinary art, having enjoyed good food from an early age with her traditional recipes of Piedmont, prepared with fresh produce from the local markets. Simplicity, a light touch and excellent ingredients are fundamental elements in her kitchen. She also loves combining tradition with a touch of originality and innovation, thanks also to her passion (and profession) for art and design.
