Chiaravalle Abbey, founded by St. Bernard in 1135, is one of the most important monastic complexes in Italy, located within the South Milan Agricultural Park.
I will take you to discover its beauty and the products of its monks' store, wood-fired bread, salami, typical cheeses, rice, and multiple quality products such as liqueurs, grappas, digestives, wines, medieval drinks, and craft beers. There is also the resale of grana padano dop, whose thousand-year history I will tell you about. Just with grana padano, once back home, we will cook risotto together and...each time it will be a different recipe depending on the season. I am waiting for you to "savor" this beautiful experience.

Cesarine - Let's discover Chiaravalle Abbey and Grana Padano cheese
- Sissi was incredible and made us feel so welcome! She made the class enjoyable and fun and me and my friends absolutely loved it! The food was delicious 😊 10/10 would recommend, such a unique and wonderful experience learning to cook authentic Italian food!
- The cooking class with Sissi was a delightful evening! We were two families with two 8 year old girls and the attention Sissi gave the girls was amazing. So patient, so loving. Also the adults had so much fun. The meal was one of our best experiences in Milan. I couldn’t refer Sissi and Cesarine more. If you are planning to have a cooking class do it, you won’t regret it. Last but not least, the website is friendly and very reliable.
- I had the best time with Sissi! She showed me her osso buco e risotto alla Milanese recipe and that was probably the best meal I ever had. Sissi is a genuinely kind and sweet person and I felt so welcome in her kitchen. She also offered to show me how to make Tiramisu and prepared many other local snacks and nibbles. I appreciated our talks over our travels and cooking and the food was as I said marvellous. Even better than what I expected when I decided to come to Italy to learn to cook! Afterwards we ate the food on Sissi‘s beautiful roof terrace with the duomo in the background. It was honestly a memory I will cherish forever. Dear Sissi, thank you so much! I will come back soon and book another class with you to learn more of what Milanese cuisine has to offer :)
- 5 amiche al cospetto di Cesarina Sissi: il mix perfetto tra insegnamento e divertimento, risate e relaz! Sissi ottima cuoca e padrona di casa! Grazie per averci fatto sentire a nostro agio durante tutta la serata! A presto, Faouzia, Pia, Alessia, Cry & Laura
- Sissi this was the most fabulous experience of our trip to Milan. We enjoyed learning new recipies and cooking with you. Your hospitality and lovely spirit made the evening for us and our freinds so memorable and fun. Many thanks!

Cesarina from 2018Location: Chiaravalle Languages: Italian and English"I love to shop in farmers' markets. Lately they are very frequent in my area and, as soon as I can, I’ll drop by to choose the best vegetables." Sissi is a true perfectionist: she loves taking care of the table even in the smallest details and gives great importance to the quality of the food, the cooking and the territorial origin of the products. She welcomes her guests in her house immersed in the tranquility of the Morivione district, a few steps from the Fondazione Prada, an important exhibition and museum space in Milan, where "it almost seems to live in the countryside, even if we are in the city."
