What to expect

Arrive at your Cesarina's home and settle into the kitchen space. She'll walk through three traditional regional dishes, demonstrating techniques before you replicate each one at your workstation. Expect hands-on work—chopping, mixing, cooking—with the Cesarina guiding you through timing and proper method. The whole group cooks together but works independently. Once finished, everything moves to the table. You'll taste your own creations with local wines, and the Cesarina typically joins the meal for conversation.
