    Pisa pasta with three seasonal condiments and a glass of wine.

    Pisa is famous for the richness of its countryside, forests, and sea. From these places come diverse and highly refined products: mushrooms, vegetables, fruits, fish, meats, cold cuts, cheeses, all rooted on a solid tradition of rich and varied home cooking. With a plate of pasta, fresh or dry, one can indulge in sauces, condiments, depending on the season: winter with a rich variety of meats and cheeses, in spring with vegetables, in summer with fish and vegetables, primarily tomatoes, in autumn with mushrooms and cured meats in endless variations and tastes. Wine in Tuscany, there is no shortage and we will pair it wisely with the proposed pasta dishes. At my home, an ancient Pisan residence next to the Leaning Tower.

    This was even better than a cooking class, it was a dining experience. La Sig.na Flora and her husband paired traditional seasonal menu items with classical Pisan (and other regional) dishes. The dinner that followed was one of the highlights of our stay in Pisa. The conversation around food, wine, culture, and worldviews was one of the highlights of our recent stay in Pisa. Breaking bread (and conversation) around a local table, one-on-one talks among strangers, is more important than soaking in the "tourist must-see" trip planning. If I have the fortune to revisit Pisa, I will try to register for another cooking/dinner opportunity.

    Lovely pasta making lesson; a home away from home, just like cooking with family :)

    We had such a great time during our cooking class! Flora was a welcoming host and a wealth of knowledge. We can’t wait to take our new skills home with us. Highly recommend this experience to all travelers in Pisa.

    When one thinks of the city of Pisa, the iconic monument, the Leaning Tower, immediately comes to mind, as well as the thousands of tourists intent on being photographed in bizarre poses at the foot of the famous monument. In the shadow of the famous tower, there are other treasures to be discovered, including the delicacies prepared by Cesarina Flora, who lives in the heart of this Tuscan city.  Starting from an early age, Flora carefully followed her family’s culinary preparations and since then has always found in cooking an oasis of serenity, research, knowledge and, above all, a great passion in keeping the local traditions alive. Today she cooks for her numerous friends, creating dishes with new and renewed flavors. She chooses her ingredients with extreme care, insisting that they come from small, highly reputable local businesses.  Her table setting is classic and elegant, using treasured dinnerware and hand-embroidered tablecloths. She has an eye for detail, combining colors based on the food she is serving, as well as the floral compositions and small potted plants.
