- Benedetta graciously welcomed us into her home for such a beautiful and authentic cooking experience. We learn’t how to make two pasta dishes from scratch, spinach & ricotta ravioli and tagliatelle with a tomato and basil sauce, as well as the most divine tiramisu! The class was equal parts learning and fun, with all dishes turning out incredible. This is our first time in Florence and couldn’t be more grateful to Benedetta, her amazing cooking skills and wonderful hospitality. This will always be a special experience to remember our time by. If you’re looking for an authentic experience and an opportunity to learn about another wonderful culture through food, you definitely need to meet Benedetta and do her class.

Where
Benedetta
Cesarina from 2025Location: Florence (FI) Languages: Italian, English, FrenchI am a true Tuscan, raised among the hills and traditions of my homeland. Cooking has always been a passion for me, and I love creating simple yet flavorful dishes that highlight the tastes of my region. From ribollita to pappardelle with wild boar, every dish is a tribute to my land and its riches. My curiosity and love for experimentation have also led me to explore fusion cuisine, blending different flavors and techniques to create something new and original. For me, fusion cooking is a way to express my creativity and discover surprising combinations. When I am in the kitchen, I feel at home, surrounded by the aromas and flavors I love. Cooking is my way of sharing my passion and culture with others, creating memories and new traditions. Whether it’s a traditional Tuscan dish or an innovative fusion creation, my cooking is always inspired by my love for good food and my homeland.
