Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
I would like to share with my guests a unique pizza-making class where we will explore various types of doughs, from the simplest to high-hydration doughs. We will learn how to mix flours using ancient grains or less refined flours, along with specialty yeasts and other secrets to achieving a well-risen pizza.
We will make doughs together, some of which I will have already prepared the day before for slow rising in the refrigerator. We will bake the pizzas in the wood-fired oven outside the house and taste our creations in the garden. I assure you that we will taste both simple and traditional pizzas, always using high-quality local products. All this will be accompanied by a good local craft beer or a glass of wine from my own production. I look forward to seeing you there!

- We have had the best time cooking pasta and tiramisu in Alessia's beautiful home! It was authentic, kind, full of joy, and generous. The food was incredible, and it was so interesting to learn about the culture, traditions, do's and don'ts. She has a real passion, and that makes for an amazing experience. Every food was carefully selected and we learned about their origins. We learned a lot! I can't recommend it enough, and I will definitely be back when I have friends visiting Italy. We did pasta and tiramisu, but I definitely will do the favo soup next time!
- Alessia was a wonderful host. The food was delicious and she told me about the local customs and traditions. She made me feel like home. I highly recommend this experience to all the people who want to find out more about the food and culture of Valle d'Aosta.
- Merci à Alessia pour cette magnifique expérience. Son accueil chaleureux nous a permis d'apprendre à faire de vraies pâtes à l'italienne et du tiramisu. Cette expérience de cuisine chez l'habitant et le partage d'un repas avec sa famille étaient vraiment formidables. Je la recommande vivement ; c'est une femme exceptionnelle qui a beaucoup de choses à raconter et à enseigner, en plus de proposer une excellente dégustation de son vin produit localement.
- With a very warm welcome, we experienced the “pasta & tiramisu lovers”. The secrets of making your one pasta, the traditional way. Also the tiramisu was a great success. Alessia is made for this “job”, she takes al the time and makes you feel comfortable. She shares her own house, tells you everything about the Italian way of live (and cooking). It was a superb experience, grazie mille Alessia. A strong recommandation for those who are stil in a doubt…
- Alessia provided the most warm welcome and put my wife at ease immediately as she was a little apprehensive but it was like me going round to your best friend or favourite aunties house. We picked some secret tips and enjoyed the hospitality of her talented daughter Karen and humorous husband Andrea. Tasting wine from their own vineyard was an absolute pleasure and unexpected treat. If you are thinking about this just say ‘why not’ and do it.🙏
