Hi from Giovanna!

The city of Trieste is well known for its history, its port, the Bora wind, its historical cafes filled with the scent of roasted coffee beans and a gastronomic melting pot that must be discovered and rediscovered... We can explore and experience classic Mitteleuropean Trieste cuisine at the home of our Cesarina, Giovanna. Giovanna loves simple traditional cooking made with fresh ingredients and seasonal fruits and vegetables. She seasons her dishes using excellent olive oil, aromatic herbs and spices, with small forays into the kitchens of the world. In Giovanna’s kitchen, you will discover a pantry laden with sauces, preserves, pasta, spirits and sweets, all strictly homemade.

This one of my favorite traveling experiences. Ms. Giovanna is an amazing cook and an amazing host and cook. I will come back to learn more recipes.

Giovanna was an excellent host, we learned a tremendous amount about Italian culture and Trieste. We sampled her wines and limoncello as well as the pasta and tiramisu we made with her. I can’t wait to try these recipes at home. Would recommend!

Esperienza divertente e istruttiva. Giovanna è stata paziente e ospitale, e dopo i ravioli fatti sotto la sua guida ci ha servito come dessert una Gibanica fatta da lei - uno dei dolci più golosi che abbia mai mangiato.
