I am Barbara, a Cesarina from Montepulciano, and I love to share my passion for Tuscan cooking with my guests. During my cooking class you will learn how to prepare three typical Tuscan recipes: pici all'aglione, another pasta of your choice, and a traditional Tuscan dessert. I will show you how to make pasta by hand and teach you the secrets of Tuscan cooking. We will use fresh, high-quality ingredients to create delicious and authentic dishes. After the cooking class, we will sit down at the table to enjoy our dishes together, accompanied by a glass of local wine. The experience is perfect for those who want to learn to cook like a true Tuscan and immerse themselves in the local culinary culture. I look forward to seeing you in my home for an authentic and unforgettable experience.

My family and I had an amazing cooking class with Barbara. I just wanted to write to tell you how incredible our class was….Barbara welcomed us into her lovely home, was exceptionally prepared for our class, and with patience and caring she taught us how to make some amazing food. I have told many friends about your group and what a wonderful day we had in Tuscany…..it exceeded every expectation I had for introducing my family to Tuscan cooking. Barbara was just so wonderful we can’t stop talking about how lucky we were to meet her and learn from her. We are hoping to receive the recipes from her so we can attempt to create the food here in the States. If we return to Italy in the future we will be sure to book experiences through Cesarine. And thank you to your staff for always being responsive to me!

We had a wonderful time and class with Barbara, in her beautiful home near Montepulciano. The food was truly amazing and my 11 year old had so much fun learning how to make pasta.

Delicious food, wine, and excellent company. We really appreciated getting to learn about Italian food and culture. We'd love to do this again sometime

The best highlight of our trip to Italy. An amazing 5 course meal and even better conversation with wonderful people. We highly recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Italy.

We had a lovely evening with Barbara. We made gnocchi and pici pastas and cantucci for dessert. Barbara was lovely - she is very friendly and she made us feel at home in her kitchen.

Barbara
Cesarina from 2018Location: Montepulciano    Languages: Italian and English
Barbara welcomes us in Montepulciano Station, a historic village nestled on the hills in the province of Siena, near the characteristic medieval village is surrounded by three circular walls and is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the area. If you see it for yourself, you'll soon understand why: the old town sprawls over a steep hill, adorned with stunning towers and steeples, while its square opens onto the breathtaking panorama of the Tuscan countryside. Our Cesarina’s country house encapsulates this charming atmosphere. Her beautiful wine cellar is home to dozens of aging bottles of local wine, and the rest of the apartment is warm and welcoming. It is here that Barbara serves us her local specialties; simple, but with sterling character and unforgettable taste.
