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.

- We had a wonderful evening learning how to cook pasta and tiramisu with Benedetta. Benedetta shared her vast knowledge of Italian cooking, guiding pasta making novices like us with care and attention to detail. The true delight of this experience is the warmth and welcoming atmosphere of Benedatta’s home and family. Our time was filled with lots of laughter, delicious food accompanied by local wine and lively conversation. We cannot recommend this cooking class highly enough and feel we have left Turin with new friendships. Thanks to you Benedetta, your beautiful mum and daughter.
- Volevo ringraziare Benedetta e la sua famiglia per averci fatto sentire a casa. Esperienza bellissima condivisa con la mia amica Tatiana. Abbiamo imparato a creare dei buonissimi agnolotti. Un grande abbraccio, ora metterò in pratica tutti i tuoi insegnamenti. 🤗👩🍳
- Sono stata bene ben oltre le mie più ottimistiche aspettative , ravioli molto buoni e un tiramisù veramente da sballo! Grazie benedetta e un grazie anche alla tua simpatica mamma , mi sono sentita accolta e a casa.
- 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.

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.
