Your experience
I will host you in our home, located within our family nursery, offering a taste of the flavors and stories I love most from the tradition of my home. You will have the opportunity to delight your palate with recipes passed down from my grandparents. We will begin with a Tuscan appetizer, enriched with prosciutto, cured meats and cheeses. This will be followed by cappelletti stuffed with ricotta and parmesan cheese, served in an enveloping meat broth. The main course will be a large mixed-meat stew accompanied by boiled vegetables and a green sauce lovingly prepared by my mother. To finish, you will delight in a dark chocolate mousse with extra virgin olive oil. This will be accompanied by fine Tuscan wine and freshly baked bread from the house.

- My family and I truly enjoyed the cooking class with Luisa. She not only shared her great recipes and techniques, she shared a lot of history with us and made us feel like part of her family. We were in Italy for three weeks and this was one of the highlights of our trip for me!
- Our group of 7, including two kids, absolutely adored our experience with Luisa! She made us feel so welcome in her home and shared so much more than just food! We all learned so much about the techniques as well as the tradition behind the recipes AND we all loved every recipe. We are so excited to try them all again at home! Luisa was so warm and kind and lovely to spend an evening with! This experience was a delight and a highlight of our entire time in Italy!
- I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Pistoia. It was such a great lesson in making pasta in a local home. Our host, Luisa, was so kind and it felt like having dinner with a family member. She was patient in providing us with instructions and made everything so simple to understand and the food was so delicious!
- Luisa was such a great teacher and an even better cook! We had such a fun time learning how to make the different shapes of pasta and even got to learn a bit of Italian history from her stories. I would highly recommend taking a cooking class while abroad but would highly recommend Luisa as your instructor. Can't wait to cook at home and teach all my friend everything I learned!!
- Ogi 19.05.2025 ho imparato a fare 3 tipi di pasta fata in casa e dei secreti molto importanți dalla cucina italiana da una seniora che si chiama Luisa che e stata molto gentilisima, molto ospitaliere, spiegando paso dopo pasa tutto procedimento come si fa la pasta ,come fare anche per conservarla in frizer se la fai tanta e anche come usare facilmente la machina per la pasta. Corso po essere adato anche a chi non ha fato mai pasta in casa per che la segniora a demonstrato molta pasienza ed e una persona molto sociabile. Se ci poteci dare piu di 5 stele lo fare. Ringrazio a a lei e anche a questo metodo che si chiama Cesarina che lo scoperto da poco. Ricomando a provare per che parole sono inutili da capire una esperienza come questa!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia Languages: Italian and English"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."
