Cooking Class at Local's Home in Modena with Tasting by Cesarine

Don’t miss this opportunity!

This cooking experience was exactly what we were looking for! 15 years ago in Rome, my husband and I took a small, in-home class with a chef and had the most wonderful time. Our newly minted adult son wanted to try it too. However, that same opportunity has become commercialized, along with every other option we can find. So I was excited to find this option in one of the other cities we would be visiting, and we got matched with the most marvelous chef - Rafaella! It was just the three of us in our family along with Rafaella - who kindly welcomed us into her warm and inviting kitchen to teach us. Rafaella contacted me in the days ahead to ask for help with the menu, and carved something out that suited our family well. We made a ton of food and ate too much! Definitely plan to take home leftovers, bring Ziploc bags or some takeaway containers, and plan to have a refrigerator! We were leaving town the next day and we’re not able to do that. We ended up learning to make a ragu sauce, fresh tagliatelle, eggplant parmigiana, and tiramisu - all from scratch - and all organic. Everything was absolutely delicious and this was the highlight experience of our trip! We made a giant mess, and Rafaella would not allow us to help clean, nor did she eat with us. But she did join us for a toast, a blessing, and dessert! Absolutely would recommend this experience! 10/10!!
