Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Small, traditional appetisers
  • Tigelle served with a selection of cold cuts, cheeses, dips, jams, preserves and Nutella
  • Homemade strawberry ice cream

I invite you into my kitchen to discover together one of the most beloved symbols of Modena’s culinary tradition: tigelle. I’ll teach you how to make them, starting with the dough and the long proving process, right through to baking, so you can enjoy them piping hot and fresh from the oven. We’ll cut them in half and fill them with cured meats, cheeses, vegetables and other delicious treats, not forgetting the traditional Modenese pesto made with lard, garlic, rosemary and Parmigiano Reggiano. To round off this convivial experience, we’ll also sample the tigelle with stewed meat and beans, just as our tradition dictates. It’ll be a chance to cook together, share stories and discover the authentic flavours of my Modena.

Wonderful afternoon with Maria Luisa. She was a very gracious host and the pasta we made was the most delicious we had in Modena. Thank you Maria Luisa, and Zlash (il gato) 🙂

It was a wonderful experience. Between chatting and a glass of Lambrusco, Maria Luisa patiently guided us, teaching us the art of making tortellini. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn the art of homemade pasta.

I went with a friend to Maria Luisa's house to learn how to make tigelle. I really enjoyed the evening, fantastic company! It really feels like being at home, I had never made the dough before but I immediately felt comfortable. After the course, we all ate the tigelle she had prepared that morning, delicious! The tiramisu was also very good. Wonderful cat 😊

Maria Luisa

Cesarina from 2019Location: Modena (MO)    Languages: Italian and English
Modena is a city rich in tradition, famous throughout the world for good food and passion for the automotive industry. On its hills, you can see castles, fortresses, towers, and medieval villages, testimonies of its history, in a landscape that satisfies mind and spirit. Luisa spent her childhood in grandmother's kitchen, surrounded by the aromas and flavors of peasant cuisine. Every day she smelled the scent of fresh homemade pasta, tigelle, and crescentine, and it was exactly her grandmother who taught her to 'put your hands in the dough’. Our Cesarina lives closer to the historic center, where she hides a real treasure: the old family vinegar factory, which she loves to show her guests.
