Tuscany on a plate: recipes steeped in heart and tradition

Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Welcome to my Tuscan kitchen! I’ll take you on a journey through the flavours of home. We’ll start with a bruschetta topped with sausage and stracchino cheese, a rustic and tasty starter, perfect for getting the meal off to a delicious start. We’ll continue with fried donzelle, soft bites of leavened dough served warm, accompanied by typical cured meats and cheeses: an authentic taste of the convivial Tuscan tradition.

We’ll then get our hands dirty to prepare soft and delicate potato gnocchi together, which we’ll serve with a rich and fragrant meat sauce or, when in season, with a fresh and aromatic black cabbage pesto. We’ll finish on a sweet note with the classic torta della nonna: the perfect finale to a menu that celebrates the flavours of home and the most sincere traditions.
