    Grandfather used to tell me the fable of the 3 sisters who lived in the garden and helped each other. Actually I later found out that it is a true story. The cultivation method is a consociation of 3 plants, corn bean and squash that together contribute something to the planting and at one time they used to cultivate together. I decided to marry these 3 sisters with 3 principles, 3 slow food presidia to create our fairy tale at the table. Corn with Formadi frant, pumpkin with Pestat di Fagagna and beans with Pitina. After a welcome bubbly with appetizers, at the table we will enjoy a polenta cuincjade with morcje and formadi frant, first course zùf macarons with Pestât and second course beans with Pitina. Matching wines and sweet surprise. I look forward to seeing you at my fabulous table.

    Esperienza fantastica. Paola è un carro armato di idee e proposte, ci ha accolto assieme a suo marito con grande entusiasmo e professionalità. Ha spiegato nel dettaglio ogni cosa che avremmo fatto assieme e ci ha accompagnati in questa super esperienza della lezione di cucina con ricette squisite e di qualità. Ha saputo creare un’atmosfera familiare e semplice, intrattenendoci con le sue storie e la sua gentilezza. Ha pure cucinato a parte una torta di compleanno per Matteo, visto che questa esperienza era il suo regalo di compleanno, aggiungendola al menù che avevamo studiato assieme. Qualità, accuratezza. generosità e passione sono tutto ciò che potete trovare in casa di Paola. Da rifare!

    I took a chance and booked the slow food experience for my family of 5 adults plus 8 month old grandson and the afternoon spent with Paula and her family was a huge highlight of our trip to this region. We were treated like family in their dining room and helped (but mostly marveled) during the cooking of so many delicious regional foods it is hard to list them all. And lovely prosecco and red wine along with home made desert liquor- we were blown away by the hospitality and abundant flavors of the gorgeous food served. We greatly enjoyed and would do it again in a heart beat! Thank you, Paula and family (gracious daughter Elisa was instrumental in translating!)

    One of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. The food far exceeded expectations and the quality that you find at most restaurants, even in Italy. The familial hospitality by Paola, her husband, and daughter was truly unforgettable. If you want a one of a kind Italian meal experience, I recommend without hesitation and with great enthusiasm!

    I cannot be more complimentary. What a lovely experience. Paola was a fantastic host. Pre-experience communication was superb and she answered all my queries and responded quickly. The day itself was fabulous. I shared the experience with two of her friends who assisted with translation. We laughed for hours and made the most fantastic food which we all shared. I will not forget this experience and if I find myself in Udine again I will get in touch with Paola and friends to see if they are free to meet. I cannot recomment this experience enough if you are looking for a great cooking/eating experience with some lovely Italian ladies.

    Devo dire che non mi aspettavo grandi novità, visto che anche io amo cucinare e sperimentare tante cose. L'esperienza di Cesarine è stata un regalo e mi ha sorpreso. Paola, la nostra Cesarina, è incredibilmente gentile, disponibile, flessibile e capace. È un'ottima cuoca ed è stata aperta a qualsiasi domanda! Una casa molto accogliente e anche suo marito ha dato una mano ed è stato molto socievole! È stata un'esperienza meravigliosa! Tornerei sicuramente a trovare Paola e suo marito e farei un altro corso di cucina! Grazie Paola!

    Cesarina from 2023Location: Tavagnacco    Languages: Italian, English, Spanish
    I bring to the table dishes from three borders: Austria, Slovenia, and Italy. From my birth family, typical peasant dishes of Friulian tradition like frico, dishes with vegetables from the garden that follow the seasons, or artisan cured meats (my husband is a charcuterie enthusiast). Steaming polenta also accompanies game dishes such as wild boar or roe deer. From my husband's family, I learned more Nordic and Slavic traditions like sauerkraut, goulash, and potica. I also enjoy working with sourdough to prepare bread and focaccia.
