Shared Experience
Your experience

    Welcome to my Venetian kitchen — a cozy, character-filled apartment with exposed wooden beams and the charm of a real Italian home. I'm Barbara, your Cesarina, and I’ll guide you through a culinary journey steeped in tradition and flavor. We’ll start by making handmade tagliatelle, then shape a beautiful stuffed pasta inspired by the iconic gondola, a tribute to the soul of Venice. To end on a sweet note, you can choose between my buttery buranelli cookies, scented with lemon, or an indulgent, creamy tiramisu. Along the way, I’ll share family recipes, personal stories, and the little secrets that make Italian cooking so special. More than a class, it’s an intimate food experience filled with laughter, aromas, and authentic taste.

    We had a lovely cooking class with Barbara. Her local knowledge, open and sunny disposition, kitchen skills, and willingness to open her house were over and above what we were expecting. We came away with yummy recipes, cookbook recommendations, local market knowledge, restaurant recommendations, and lovely memories. Highly, highly recommend!!

    Excellent! By far one of our favorite experiences ever! Barbara was magnificent: warm, kind, and extremely accommodating. The weather was awful, and she met us in a nearby square in order to help. The intimate size of the group (only four of us) made for a wonderful time. We highly recommend it.

    Joining the Tiramisu and Pasta cooking class in Venice was a delightful experience. Thanks to Barbara, we learned the secrets of fresh home-made pasta and tiramisu! We explored the essence of Italian cuisine in a beautiful, traditional Venetian home. Barbara, our gracious host, made the experience even more memorable with her warmth and expertise. It felt like visiting a friend’s house!

    Cesarina Barbara welcomes you into her home with open arms. This breathtaking house is situated in the perfect location, right in the city centre, but sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hotspots. You will be guided through the most evocative culinary traditions of the lagoon. “Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved learning how to cook. I learned from my grandmother, who prepared traditional Venetian dishes with infinite wisdom: in fact, my grandparents ran a restaurant for many years, so I have always lived and breathed for making guests feel welcome. I love cooking for my friends and family, and over the years I’ve specialised in Venetian dishes, as they are so varied and full of flavour, a true expression of Venice’s precious and rich history.”
     
     Immerse yourself in the captivating atmosphere of the most famous canals in the world, you will have the the opportunity to learn a timeless selection of traditional dishes. Only a magical city like Venice can promise such a special experience.
