Private Cooking Class in Cesenatico: Learn 3 Regional Recipes

Cook three regional dishes in a Cesarina's kitchen, then eat what you made.

A private cooking class at a Cesarina's home in Cesenatico where you learn to prepare three seasonal regional recipes (a starter, pasta, and dessert) under instruction, then taste everything you've cooked with local wines. The class runs four hours and includes all ingredients, utensils, and beverages. You choose a morning or afternoon departure. The guide speaks English or Italian.

The experience

You arrive at a Cesarina's home in Cesenatico and spend the next four hours learning the techniques behind three authentic regional dishes. Each participant gets a workstation with all the utensils and ingredients needed, so there's no prep work or shopping to do beforehand. The Cesarina teaches you the tricks that make these recipes work (the seasonal starter, the pasta, and the typical dessert), and you cook alongside her rather than watching a demonstration.

Once everything is ready, you sit down to taste all three dishes you've just made, accompanied by a selection of local red and white wines. Water and coffee are also included. The class is private, which means the pace and the focus stay on you and your group. There's no rushing through to accommodate other participants.

You can book either a morning or afternoon departure, depending on what fits the rest of your day in the region. Public transportation options are available nearby if you need them. The Cesarina's home follows sanitary protocols, with hand sanitizing supplies and paper towels provided.
