About this tour
Start at Modena's bustling market with a local Cesarina, picking seasonal produce and visiting traditional food shops, then head to her home for a hands-on cooking class. You'll prepare three classic Modenese dishes from scratch at your own workstation, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside regional wines. This four-and-a-half-hour experience gives you direct access to someone who's cooked these recipes for years and knows exactly where to source the best ingredients.
Highlights
- Shop the market with a practising local home cook
- Learn three authentic Modena recipes step-by-step
- Cook at your own station in a family kitchen
- Eat your creations with local red and white wines
- Taste how ingredients transform in traditional hands
What to expect
Your Cesarina will guide you through the market, explaining which stalls stock what and why quality matters here. Back at her home kitchen, you'll get your own prep space and ingredients. She'll walk you through each dish, demonstrating technique and sharing timing tricks picked up over years of cooking. Expect some chopping, some stirring, and moments where things won't look right until they suddenly do. Once everything's cooked, you'll eat together at her table—no standing around, just proper food and wine.
Good to know
Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The class suits mixed abilities; no prior cooking experience needed. Public transport is accessible if you need it. Bring an appetite and be ready to take notes if you want the recipes later.
