Shared Experience
Your experience

    Join me on a journey through Florence's vibrant local market, where we will explore the fresh produce and ingredients that inspire authentic Tuscan cuisine. As we stroll through the market, I will share with you my knowledge of how to select the best quality ingredients and how to distinguish those that are in season. After the market tour, we will head to the kitchen for a hands-on cooking class where we will prepare three traditional Tuscan recipes. You will learn how to make a classic Italian appetizer, fresh homemade pasta, and a delicious dessert. At the end of the class, you will get to taste the dishes prepared during the class.

    My husband and I took a cooking class with Mrs. Cecilia, and it was hands down the highlight of our time in Florence. If you’re considering booking this experience, don’t hesitate; it is an absolute must! From the moment we arrived, Cecilia welcomed us like family. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for cooking made the entire experience unforgettable. She is an incredible teacher. Patient, engaging, and so enthusiastic that her love for Italian cuisine shines through in every step. We learned to make fresh ravioli with a delicious red sauce, authentic tiramisu, and enjoyed a wonderful glass of red wine along the way. Everything we made was absolutely delicious, but what made the experience truly special was Cecilia herself. She created such a relaxed, fun, and authentic atmosphere that it felt less like a class and more like cooking in the home of a dear friend. This wasn’t just a cooking lesson, it was a genuine Italian experience filled with laughter, amazing food, and heartfelt hospitality. Cecilia is the kind of person you never forget, and she made our visit to Florence even more meaningful. We left with new skills, wonderful memories, and full hearts (and stomachs!). Thank you, Cecilia, for such an unforgettable experience. We would recommend this class to absolutely everyone visiting Florence!

    The BEST Cooking Class Experience - 

    I had a really great cooking class together with Cecilia in her beautiful home in Firenze. We made very delicious pici with sausage and tomato sauce and Cecilia’s own bracioline rifatte. I am looking forward to visit Firenze and Cecilia again in the near future!

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Cecilia was so inviting and such a good teacher! Her home was lovely and the view out of her windows was spectacular! This class was the best part of our trip to Florence. We made spinach and ricotta ravioli, fettuccini in a butter and sage sauce and we made tiramisu. We already told our family back home that we can’t wait to come home and cook fresh pasta and tiramisu for them! We HIGHLY recommend Cecilia. 😊

    Cecilia was a great host and teacher. She is very nice and welcoming. It was very fun to make the pasta and tiramisu. She also prepared some focaccia and gave us some wine! The lesson was very informative and interesting.

    My fiancé and I had the most incredible experience taking a home cooking class with Cecilia while on vacation in Italy. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely welcome in her home. She walked us through every step of making fresh ravioli from scratch and showed us how to prepare authentic tiramisu. Cecilia was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing her love of Italian cooking. What made it even more special was the warm, relaxed atmosphere—laughing, learning, and enjoying amazing food together. It ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip thus far. We left not only with full stomachs, but with new skills and memories we'll always associate with Italy. If you have the chance to take a class with Cecilia, don't hesitate. It's an experience you won't forget!

    Cesarina from 2018Location: Florence (FI)    Languages: Italian and English
    At the top end of a road just outside the historic center of Florence, across from the park of the Stibbert Museum, our Cesarina opens the doors to her home from with a splendid view of the city.  “Cooking amuses me and always puts me in a good mood. I’m constantly on the lookout for the perfect recipe, and when I find it I guard it as though it was a treasure chest!”. Cecilia’s is a simple, but unquestionably tasty cuisine: “I like inviting friends home, without any formalities, offering them the best I can”.
