  • Local cold cuts and cheeses
  • Mixed dish with pork specialites
  • Apple pancake with zabaglione cream

The most widespread winter tradition in my land is pork products.

In Friuli, dishes are dressed up with ham, sausages and pork cooked with recipes handed down from time immemorial. My husband is a pork butcher by passion, and I am proposing a menu inspired by childhood memories, when my grandfather used to dedicate a small salami to me that he would hang on the rods for curing with my name on it. We will start with a nice board of cold cuts accompanied by tortute, my grandmother's specialty that I will show you how to make with cornmeal. This will be followed by the main course,pork specialties from Friuli such as salami in vinegar,muset e bruade and tender ribs cooked with sauerkraut. Finally we will make apple fritters accompanied by warm zabaglione cream.

Ho voluto regalarmi un'esperienza culinaria non distante da dove vivo e sono rimasta piacevolmente sorpresa dell'ospitalità di Paola che mi ha fatto sentire da subito come una di famiglia. Ogni piatto è stato accompagnato da ottimo vino, e mi è stato spiegato in ogni dettaglio, dalla materia prima alla preparazione. Complimenti anche agli ottimi affettati fatti dall'insuperabile marito Loris, che è anche norcino. Degni di nota gli gnocchi al pestaat, il magnifico frico e un goulasch spaziale che mi ha letteralmente rubato il cuore! Bravissima Paola mi hai trattata come una regina! Ritornerò sicuramente.

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!

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.
