Hi from Luisa!

"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."

We had a thoroughly enjoyable time in Luisa's home. She walked us through the experience with a wealth of knowledge on the cooking techniques, ingredients, and options. She also shared local information and history for Pistoia, introduced us to her helpful Basenji, all while guiding us through the process of making a meal that was delicious. It was certainly one of the most enjoyable parts of our trip. A superb experience.

That was an excellent experience! Luisa is not only a great tutor who shared all her recipes and tips for making perfect pasta and tiramisu, but she also helped us understand Italian culture and the true essence behind Italian cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed the class and highly recommend it for a wonderful experience!

Luisa welcomed my husband and I into her kitchen with open arms. The pasta we cooked was delicious, and Luisa was a wonderful teacher. We learned so much about traditional Italian cooking and the charming town of Pistoia.

ho partecipato con una amica alla lezione sulla pasta fresca della Cesarina Luisa G. la lezione è stata molto interessante e ricca di spunti, Luisa si è dimostrata preparata e molto cordiale, ci ha divertito molto raccontandoci un sacco di aneddoti sulla storia della cucina emiliana. Sicuramente un'esperienza da ripetere.Lisa
