Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
There is something therapeutic about seeing pasta take shape in your own hands. Imagine an afternoon at home dedicated to pasta: the sound of flour on the pastry board, the golden hue of fresh eggs and the intense, wild and heady scent of truffle filling the room.
I will guide you step by step in creating the perfect tagliolini: thin, with just the right amount of texture, and able to hold the sauce. But this won’t just be a cooking class; it will be a journey through the authentic flavours of our region. We’ll round off the experience by tasting the fruits of your labour, enhanced by the ‘black or white diamond’ (depending on the season), freshly harvested from our land.

- It was great experience to learn how to make cavatelli (traditional pasta barese) and tagliatelle and tiramisu with a very kind and very professional host, Monica. At the end we ate our own made dishes together as old friends! :-) Everyone should try this!
- Learning to make focaccia Barese with Monica was a wonderful experience. We have taken part in many cooking classes in Italy and look for small group hands-on involvement rather than simply watching someone prepare food. It was clear upon Monica’s warm welcome into her home that this private session would be perfect for us. It was like learning from and sitting down to dinner with friends. As our heritage is Barese, it is especially important to us to preserve traditional recipes, and we fully intend to put this learning to use at home.
- It was an experience as I had hoped it would be. Monica is a wonderful host. Nice and friendly and very helpful. She made us a wonderful dinner and we were pleased to come in her house and meet her family and friends. Nice to see how she made the pasta and tells with love about food and cooking. And also the dessert was delicious. A good choice to do!
- Just the best cooking class with Monica in her home. We learned to make: tremisu, cavateli pasta, and a wonderful tomato sauce. It was delicious. Highly recommend it.
- I recommend it to everyone! Incredible adventure and I will never forget it. Monika, thank you for everything! Delicious food and wine, it was wonderful to be your guest.
