- Pici with bolognese ragout
- Rice cake
You will learn how to make pici, one of the most famous types of homemade pasta, using only water and flour, according to Tuscan peasant tradition. It will be served with a rich red sauce from the Emilia region. In Italy, every region, every province, every city and, ultimately, every family has its own recipes. These thousands of variations are a true treasure to be preserved, passed on and shared. The meal will be rounded off with a rice cake, also typical of our area.

- Esperienza con la signora Luisa ottima. Luisa, molto ospitale e gentile, ci ha seguiti passo per passo nella preparazione di alcuni tipi di pasta ed è stata un’esperienza molto interessante e piacevole. Da fare nuovamente grazie
- A wonderful cooking class in a warm, family-style atmosphere. Luisa was a thoughtful and attentive host, carefully listening also to our gluten-free dietary needs and making everyone feel truly welcome. Making fresh pasta together, surrounded by conversation and laughter, turned the experience into something authentic, inclusive, and genuinely special!
- Luisa’s pasta class was authentic and beautiful! She invited you into her home, where she is excellent at explaining the traditional customs of pasta making. It felt like family and home and Tuscan hospitality all wrapped up into one. Bellissimo!
- Luisa was very accommodating and nice. We felt comfortable at her place. It was like a nice cooking evening with friends. We were allowed to do everything ourselves and she explained everything super well. I would do it again, but I can make great pasta now thanks to Luisa
- That was an excellent experience! Luisa is not only a great tutor who shared all her recipes and tips for making perfect pasta and tiramisu, but she also helped us understand Italian culture and the true essence behind Italian cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed the class and highly recommend it for a wonderful experience!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia (PT) Languages: Italian and English"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."
