Shared Experience
Your experience
My Calabrian roots deeply influence my cooking, which is full of family tradition dishes. In this cooking class, we will have fun preparing delicious maccheroni al ferretto or fantastic cavatelli, typical and flavorful dishes. For the maccheroni, we will use a dried willow branch to create this unique pasta, which we will then dress with a rich tomato sauce and meat rolls that we will prepare together. An authentic experience to discover the secrets of Calabrian cuisine. I look forward to cooking and enjoying together!

- I spent an absolutely delightful evening with Veronica. She told me the word "Cesarine" is associated with the stewardship and passing on of cultural traditions, and her passion for and enjoyment of this was so clear. Everything was so nicely prepared for our session, and I really loved making the pasta and tiramisu together...and it was delicious, too! I felt very welcomed into her home, for an experience that was personal and authentic. But also everything was very professional, too, with her kitchen lab a bit separate from the main family home. Definitely a, maybe even the highlight of my trip to Italy. Highly recommend!!
- My family's cooking class with Veronica was one of the highlights of our family vacation. Veronica was the quintessential hostess! She and her family welcomed us into her home and made us feel at ease immediately. Her food is amazing. I had to have the recipes and will make them myself. My family has been asking for her Ragu since we go home! Thank you for a truly memorable experience. We consider your family our friends for life! Grazie Mille!
- We had a lovely time with Veronika! She and her husband Luca were so hospitable and kind. We so enjoyed our immersive private cooking experience making Italian pasta and tiramisu and then enjoying it with them on their beautiful patio. This was accompanied by some lovely appetizers and wine. Thank you! Grazie!
- This was our favorite night in Italy!! We had the best meal and the host and her husband could not have been more lovely and fun! They were so sweet and understanding with our two young daughters and by the time the dinner was over we felt like friends. They drove us to our apartment from their home and really treated us like family. It was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting Italy!
- Veronica was amazing. We had the best time. Definitely the highlight of our trip!

Where
Veronica
Cesarina from 2023Location: Como Languages: Italian, English, FrenchMy cuisine is above all typical, traditional. I was born and raised in Como but my parents are from southern Italy, so my cuisine is also very Mediterranean. I like to range from fresh pasta (cooking baked pasta in particular), to fish dishes, long-cooked meats such as braised meats and I love dedicating myself to desserts. Another great passion of mine is leavened products, particularly pizza and bread.
