Shared Experience
Your experience
In my kitchen inside the farmhouse in Pistoia's oldest nursery, with the help of just a few tools and an electric oven, you can learn how to make your own fresh bread at home in just three hours. During the class, I will guide you in the creation of two types of bread: the large loaf with a golden, crispy crust or sandwiches and Piadina Romagnola. You will learn the secrets of doughs, baking, shapes and textures. At the end of the class, you will have the opportunity to enjoy your breads with us or take them home with the recipes and information provided during the class. I will also give you info on flours abroad. Don't miss the opportunity to create your own homemade bread and delight your palate with the authentic flavors of Italian baking!

- The cooking class with Luisa has been so much fun. She welcomed us into her home and made us feel like home as well. We made several shapes of egg pasta with the machine as well as by hand and then had a lovely meal with her sauce and the freshly made pasta. She then made us an espresso which we really enjoyed. Luisa's enthousiasm and warmth made the lesson so much fun, thank you so much Luisa! Would really recommend this class if you are in the neighbourhood of Pistoia (we drove 30 min from Lucca).
- We had the best experience with Luisa! She was so friendly and welcoming. We started with the tiramisu and then made 2 different types of pasta and 3 different shapes of filled pasta. Luisa also turned the pasta into a delicious meal, and we ate everything we made together. Luisa was also very knowledgeable and explained the history of certain pasta and the local area! I can’t recommend this experience enough, we had the best time!
- We had a great time. It was an unforgettable experience for us. From now on, this will be one of the joint programs with my husband. We make pasta every Sunday. 😊🥰
- 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!

Luisa
Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia 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."
