Private Cooking Class at a Cesarina's Home in Cantù

About this tour

Cook three regional Italian dishes in a Cesarina's home kitchen in Cantù, learning techniques passed down through generations. You'll work at your own station with all ingredients and equipment provided, then sit down to eat what you've made alongside local wines. The four-hour class is led by your host, who shares the reasoning behind each step, making it less about performance and more about understanding how real Italian home cooking actually works.

Highlights

• Three authentic regional recipes from a local cook's repertoire
• Individual workstation with full equipment and ingredients
• Local red and white wines paired with your finished dishes
• Learn the 'why' behind techniques, not just the steps
• Meal shared at the host's table after cooking
• Private class in a working home kitchen

What to expect

You'll arrive at your Cesarina's home and begin at a prep station where ingredients are already laid out. She'll walk through each of the three dishes, demonstrating technique first, then guiding you through the process at your own pace. Expect some chopping, stirring, tasting as you go. About halfway through, the first dish will be ready; by the end, you'll have three courses. You'll then sit together to eat everything you've made, with wine poured and time to chat about what worked, what was tricky, and how she'd cook it differently on a weeknight versus for guests.
