Hi from Luisa!

One of the greatest riches of the city of Pescara, in addition to its extensive coast, is its cuisine. Sea, the shepherds, and its refined pastrymakers and housewives. Pescara has a rich culinary heritage, and the province is famous for a series of recipes that are highly sought after and appreciated throughout the world. Despite a tradition that is relatively younger than those of other provincial capitals, Pescara’s is unbeatable anywhere else in Abruzzo. Here we meet our Cesarina, Luisa, who offers us typical local holiday recipes and recipes from her family tradition.

My family and I had an incredible time cooking with Luisa! She was so welcoming and generous, we didn't want to leave! And the food of course was amazing...we couldn't wait to try out what we learned. Highly, highly recommend!

My husband, Thomas, and I enjoyed a wonderful evening in Luisa's home. We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed learning about the rich tradition of food in Abruzzo. Each dish was delicious! It was a very special night for us.

Siamo "incappati" piuttosto per caso in una smartbox riconvertita nell'esperienza delle "Cesarine". Dopo qualche vicissitudine per incastrare la data, siamo stati finalmente ospiti dalla signora Luisa. Siamo stati accolti in un ambiente confortevole e familiare nel vero senso della parola. Da subito abbiamo percepito la dedizione e la passione per la cucina della signora Luisa, coadiuvata dal simpaticissimo marito!!! Siamo stati del tutto a nostro agio, ed il tempo è volato. Il menù proposto, tipicamente abruzzese come concordato in precedenza, è stato un crescendo di sapori di casa ed un viaggio nella tradizione regionale!! Partiti dai salumi di produzione familiare, siamo passati per le "pallotte" eccezionali fatte nel pieno rispetto della tradizione!! I primi ci hanno fatto toccare con mano la tradizione del chietino con i "tacconi" ed una piacevole novità per noi con i tradizionali ravioli "dolci alla teramana", entrambi fatti in casa e con materie di primissima qualità. Il secondo ci ha portato indietro nel tempo con il "rotolo della trebbiatura", per ricordare sapori passati, tenero e saporito accompagnato da verdure di stagione saltate. Sul dolce, però,la signora Luisa si è letteralmente superata..."totare casolane" e bocconotti!!! I cannoli di frolla dalla forma a cono tipici ripieni di crema delicatissima al limone hanno deliziato i nostri palati...così come l'esplosione di gusto addentando la frolla spettacolare dei bocconotti con ripieno di cacao e nocciole !!! Esperienza veramente piacevole nel complesso, cibo squisito ed ottima compagnia dei padroni di casa!!!

What a wonderful culinary and cultural experience. Luisa is a very knowledgeable chef and her method of teaching is calm, encouraging and inspiring. We all learned something new, even Carmela who has lots of cooking experience. Maya her assistant was available for any translation needed to make sure we understood everything that was being discussed. Luisa gave us some expert tips that you can’t get just by watching videos online. After we made our pasta alla guitarra, spinach ricotta ravioli and tiramisu, we sat down to a beautifully set table and enjoyed our creations and spoke of our lives as if we were old friends. If you want to experience the warmth of the true Italian kitchen and Italian hospitality, we recommend Luisa.

Luisa was excellent. She not only showed me how to make the pastas but also made sure i actually used my hands to experience it.
