Follow your Cesarina in a local market tour, challenge yourself with a hands-on cooking class followed by a tasting of the recipes prepared during the lesson

Private Experience
Your experience
  • Glass of prosecco and tasting of artisanal sauces with products from the garden and jams on toasted bread
  • On returning home, other small seasonal appetizers, preparation of fresh egg pasta in Bigoli format, if possible seasoned with two types of different sauces
  • Typical dessert of our city "Buccellato" fried, fresh fruit, if in season, peaches in wine: a tradition of our grandparents

The experience involves a visit to an organic farm that uses its own land's produce to craft unique sauces with vegetables, fruits, and flowers, expertly combined. Depending on the weather, we will enjoy an outdoor aperitif while tasting these products.

Upon returning home, we'll taste organic vegetables or other seasonal appetizers. We'll prepare homemade pasta with different cereal flours, noticing the significant flavor differences. We'll dress the pasta with a variety of homemade sauces. We'll also explore other aspects of our rich culinary tradition, such as the importance of extra virgin olive oil, wholemeal flours, and organic tomatoes, all accompanied by an excellent prosecco.

It was truly a pleasure spending the day with Monica and her husband. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making and enjoyed the foods Monica prepared. She was such a delight! I would highly recommend this activity! The only negative I have was that there was no Market tour, which is how it was advertised with "Get Your Guide", but that was no fault of Monica's. She was simply the best!

Monica and her husband were exceptional! They were warm welcoming and so wonderful! They asked what we wanted to make and were good at managing expectations due to time. They were so generous and knowledgeable and kind. It was a truly magical experience for my family. The children loved it! Thank you so much for a special memory and evening!!!

Monica was absolutely incredible! She was patient, a great teacher and full of knowledge on how to cook the Italian way! All 8 of us dearly loved our experience and we all learned so much. This was well worth the money and it was one of our favorite experiences in Italy! We highly, highly recommend this experience.

This cooking class was so much fun. Monica customized it to what we wanted to learn and was so knowledgeable. The class went long because she insisted we needed more time. She and her husband also provided a variety of meats, cheeses, fruits, and alcohol. Would definitely recommend!

Monica's cookery class was absolutely amazing. She was so patient and kind, talking through every aspect of the dishes we were preparing. She treated us like family members when we then all at dinner. It was fabulous and I cannot recommend Monica highly enough.
