Shared Experience
Your experience

    In my experience of authentic Italian tradition, I am pleased to host you in my home in Florence, where you will learn how to make two types of pasta with your own hands and I will reveal the secrets of my grandmother's recipes. In Tuscany, it is customary to welcome friends with a glass of red wine and a typical antipasto, it will be the beginning of your fun pasta experience with me. First, we will make Pici, the typical pasta of the town where I was born, in southern Tuscany. According to tradition, Pici are seasoned with a tomato sauce and a special garlic that we call Aglione. You will be delighted ! While the Pici pasta is "resting" we will devote ourselves to the preparation of Gnocchi that we will dress with a wonderful mushroom cream. At the end, the typical Florentine dessert.

    Letizia
    Cesarina from 2022Location: Florence    Languages: Italian and English
    I am Letizia and more than a cook, I feel like a lover of my land, the wonderful Tuscany, and a fan of the vast array of products it generously offers. I strongly support the simple and "poor" tradition where raw materials play the main role and for this reason, they must be chosen and selected for their quality. Passionate about handmade pasta, I create experiences where we prepare and taste Pici with aglione sauce, a typical dressing with which they are now known or with breadcrumbs, according to the less known peasant tradition of the past. But in my events, there are also innovative and typical Tuscan surprises to discover! I was born and raised in the far south of Toscana, an area still little-known in many respects, including its culinary traditions, but I have been lucky enough to live in Florence, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, for over 30 years. Desired and known by all, I am very familiar with traditional Florentine dishes and I have created experiences that boast being a trade union between the center and the south of this region, all in the intimate and welcoming atmosphere of my home and in the company of my family.
