Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
In this cooking class we will learn a traditional dish: vitello tonnato, a quintessential Piedmontese dish. The original recipe does not call for the use of mayonnaise. All the ingredients are cooked together with the meat, which releases its intense flavor, and are then reduced to a flavorful cream. A recipe from our family tradition contained in an ancient cookbook. After a small appetizer, we will taste together our recipe, a first course typical of Piedmont and a dessert.
My husband and I love to do cooking experiences when we visit other countries and we both agreed, this is the best one we have ever done. The food was fantastic, but Gabriella and her husband were fabulous, they were so welcoming and absolutely bewitching to be around. Gabriella's passion for food is infectious. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to create and eat gorgeous food. Thank you both so much, we had the best time!

Gabriella was a very gracious host. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and her showing us the preparation and helping to put it together. It was a highlight of our trip.

Gabriella and Fausto are very welcoming and friendly to invite you into their home. The cooking class itself is fun and practical, whether you are an experienced home chef or never cooked before. Gabriella gives good instructions and lets you do the ‘work’. There is not a single dull moment. After the preparations and cooking, you get to eat the pasta’s you prepared yourself and it is delicious! Gabriella even packed up the left overs for us to take with us!
Thank you for this amazing experience.

"The kitchen has fascinated me since the child, I followed carefully mom to the stove trying to learn all her recipes. Mine is a 360 degree cuisine that enhances my region, Piedmont. With my partner, wine connoisseur, who follows me in my creations, we prepare delicious dishes that respect the tradition with particular attention to the research and selection of ingredients."
