Italian cuisine is based on simplicity, the quality of ingredients, and ease of preparation. Pizza and gelato are great classics that you can enjoy and make in any season! We will prepare true classic Italian pizza: bianca (just oil), Margherita, Quattro Stagioni, Capricciosa, and Napoletana. I will teach you the tricks related to leavening, cooking in a wood-fired oven and an electric oven. And then we'll make fior di latte gelato (cream, milk, sugar) or stracciatella (fior di latte with dark chocolate). During the experience, you'll be able to savor excellent Tuscan red wine, Italian craft beers, homemade coffee and grappas.
Excellent! Recommend highly especially for those interested in cooking. A first rate cultural experience.

We had a very fun afternoon, making pasta with Luisa. She showed us how to make traditional egg pasta with her family's recipe. She shared her knowledge and experience by telling us how to make bigger quantities and the insight about the diffrent pasta making techniques. Afterwards we ate the self-made pasta while enjoying a good glass of local wine. Besides the talk about pasta, Luisa also told us about family tradition, history, Pistoia and more. We would recommend booking a cooking class by Luisa!

Lots of fun and very informative, not just about cooking but also the history. A bit of hard work but a very tasty dinner as a reward!

"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."
