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!

    Luisa was beyond accommodating and kind. We had the absolute best time. She welcomed us into her home with love and spent time to teach us little techniques of Italian food. We got to make two different types of pasta as well as tiramisu. Her daughter even happened to be in town and was generous enough to spend time with us. My husband and I had the best time and we can't wait to share all the things we have learned with our kids! Highly recommend. Grazie Millie!

    Wat een mooie kans om op vakantie in Italië te leren hoe je verfijnde vormen van pasta zelf kunt maken. En hoe smaakvol zelfgemaakte tiramisu is. Luisa was een goede leermeester die daar naast op een plezierige wijze ook andere zaken die met de cultuur van het land te maken hebben. , besprak.

    My family and I truly enjoyed the cooking class with Luisa. She not only shared her great recipes and techniques, she shared a lot of history with us and made us feel like part of her family. We were in Italy for three weeks and this was one of the highlights of our trip for me!

    Our group of 7, including two kids, absolutely adored our experience with Luisa! She made us feel so welcome in her home and shared so much more than just food! We all learned so much about the techniques as well as the tradition behind the recipes AND we all loved every recipe. We are so excited to try them all again at home! Luisa was so warm and kind and lovely to spend an evening with! This experience was a delight and a highlight of our entire time in Italy!

    I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Pistoia. It was such a great lesson in making pasta in a local home. Our host, Luisa, was so kind and it felt like having dinner with a family member. She was patient in providing us with instructions and made everything so simple to understand and the food was so delicious!

    "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."
