Hi from Catia!
Catia, our Cesarina, lives on the outskirts of Padua, a city full of treasures to be discovered. Art, culture, history and gastronomy, imposing squares, alleys and shops, nothing is really missing. Even in our Cesarina's home nothing is missing: delicacies that trace the typical Venetian and Paduan flavors, made with raw materials, most of which come from farms in the area.

- This was a very special experience. Catia met me at Piazza del Erbe. The Market was closed becouse there was Easter Monday , but she took me around Padova instead and shared wanderful stories about the colorful history about her belvedere city.Then we went to cook . What a treat. She tought me to make Bigoli the Pasta of Padova in the traditional way-with an original press and my muscles.It was such a lovely time. We spoke and shared about our country and lives. This extended all my expectations. I went for a cooking class and finished with a friend. If you want a truly special experience in padova sign up for a class with Catia. It's worth every single cent and more. Very special person and the food turned out delicious, Bigoli , Tiramisù and more !
- Catia is a great hostess with a lot of knowledge, excellent cooking and a welcoming home. Not only could we try many delicious traditional foods of the region but she enriched the experience with her knowledge of the local cuisine and history. The experience contains appetizers, different forms of pasta and a dessert. All were very tasty, local and unique. Making the pasta was a lot of fun and all the food was truly delicious!
- I agree with the other reviewers. I had a really enjoyable time learning to cook vegan versions of traditional italian food. Every single thing we cooked was absolutely delicious. I learned so much as well about vegan cooking and italian cooking in general too. Catia has so much passion for vegan cooking it is really inspiring. I had been really looking forward to this lesson but it surpassed my expectations.
- Catia is an assolute PERFECT host! Her Knoledge of the region & how it impats the food that are made was interesting!! We made several different dishes , each better than the next ! We left feeling we have made a new friend !! Highly recommend this experience! Catia is awesome!
- Catia è una persona spontanea, ospitale e generosa. Durante la cooking class vegana mi ha tramesso tutta la sua passione ed esperienza, non risparmiandosi e regalandomi tante ricette e curiosità. Il menù e la degustazione sono stati abbondanti e favolosi. Grazie ancora, ho avuto come l'impressione di andare a trovare una zia o una persona familiare, con cui impastare e raccontarsi! 😌
