Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class in Pistoia

About this tour

Roll fresh pasta by hand and master two distinct shapes with a local home cook in Pistoia, then cap the afternoon by building a proper tiramisu from scratch. This three-hour class happens in your host's kitchen, where you'll cook alongside new travellers, eat what you've made, and pick up techniques you'll actually use at home. Cesarine hosts—seasoned home cooks across Italy—teach from family recipes, so you're learning regional cooking as locals eat it, not restaurant theatre.

Highlights

• Hand-roll sfoglia and shape two different pasta types
• Build tiramisu from ground up
• Eat lunch of pasta and dessert you've made
• Learn from a local Cesarine home cook
• Prosecco and Italian aperitivo included

What to expect

You'll work in your host's home kitchen for three hours. Expect flour under your fingernails and an honest walk-through of pasta-making—rolling, cutting, the lot—at a pace that lets you keep up. Your host demonstrates each step, then you have a go. Once the pasta's done and resting, you'll move to tiramisu: layering, timing, the flavour balance. Around two hours in, everything comes together on the table with wine and coffee. It's working lunch, not a formal meal, and you'll eat alongside whoever else is taking the class.
