Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
I am Silvia, a Cesarina who lives in the historic center of Lucca.
I invite you to join me for a cooking class in my kitchen to learn about the authentic flavors of Tuscan cuisine. We will prepare three types of pasta dishes together: we will start with tasty potato gnocchi served with meat sauce, or alternatively a meatless sauce for those who are vegetarians, using fresh and high quality ingredients. The second proposal is perhaps the most famous, the unfailing homemade pasta, using only two ingredients: eggs and flour. Finally we will make gnudi, ravioli prepared using only spinach, ricotta and parmesan cheese.

- Silvia’s classes are fun, informative, and an exceptional experience. She is so knowledgeable and loves sharing her expertise in a delightful way. Each class (I’ve had three) are well organized and thoughtfully planned for the best experience possible. She readily shares her knowledge about Italy, the cuisines, and the area. I highly recommend Silvia’s cooking classes!
- Probably the best cooking class I’ve followed! Sadly enough still did not receive any recipes..
- Our experience with Silvia was wonderful! The side trip to the market was a nice feature. She even let us help with the preparation, and the food was delicious. My only comment, which has nothing to do with Silvia, is that Cesarine should take out the part that says participants will receive a shopping bag and apron. We did not, and someone else might be expecting such.
- Wonderful! Engaging! Informative! Delicious! Personal! I could keep going, but there aren't enough positive words to describe our time with Silvia. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
- Silvia provided an evening of fun, great food & wine, & patient hands on teaching. She taught the pasta we requested.

Silvia
Cesarina from 2022Location: Lucca (LU) Languages: Italian and English"I love to host and take care of the table, I always try to create a mise en place with some ingredient that recalls the menu or seasonality. I prefer to cook dishes of land, typical of the Tuscan tradition, I do not try too much in desserts... but only not to eat too many!"
