Shared Experience
Your experience
I’m Eleonora, your Cesarina from Assisi, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to the heart of the historic center of this beautiful city for a culinary experience that will introduce you to the authentic flavors of our tradition. We’ll start with a welcome aperitif, where you’ll taste a selection of local products, perfect for getting acquainted with the flavors of Umbria. Then, we’ll get straight to work! I’ll teach you how to prepare three classic sauces: the savory ragù, the famous amatriciana, and a fresh sauce with cherry tomatoes, olives, walnuts, and breadcrumbs. Each sauce is a simple yet flavorful recipe, which I’ll guide you through step by step. At the end of the course, we’ll enjoy the dishes we’ve prepared, served with a plate of homemade tagliatelle.

- Eleonora was spectacular. She was very thorough in her presentation and very encouraging but not afraid to correct our mistakes. Highly recommend
- Eleanora was so nice and patient and she is so professional. We actually learned how to make pasta! We had a lovely time!
- Eleanora was so fantastic. What a lovely lady. We enjoyed her lessons so much. She spent extra time with us. We enjoyed the cheese and wine tasting beforehand as well. I did so much we even purchased wine and olive oil to have sent home. Her grandson’s run the wine, cheese and olive oil store and they are absolutely adorable and knowledgeable.
- Amazing experience. Enjoyed the culture, cooking and comraderie. Highly recommended
- Eleonora was amazing so welcoming and a great teacher . It was a dream of mine to come to Italy and make authentic Italy sauce. My mother was Italy born in Sicily and this trip was in honor of her and celebrating my 70th birthday. I am starting my own Italian cook book with some of these recipes This class was everything I expected and more.

Eleonora’s Cooking School
Cesarina from 2022Location: Assisi (PG) Languages: Italian and EnglishI am Eleonora and I run a cooking school in the heart of Assisi, where every day I share my greatest passion: Umbrian cuisine. I lovingly dedicate myself to preparing homemade pasta, using exclusively locally sourced ingredients to ensure authentic and genuine flavors. I strongly believe in the value of local products and in the quality of ingredients from our region. I live and work surrounded by the beauty of Umbria and its seasonal produce. In my cooking school, I enjoy sharing the Umbrian culinary tradition with my guests, enhancing local flavors and using fresh ingredients grown in the nearby fields.
