About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in a Modenese home kitchen and learn to hand-shape three signature pasta dishes from your host, a practising home cook. You'll work through each recipe at your own station, then sit down to eat what you've made with local wines. The three-hour class runs through Cesarine, a network connecting travellers with home cooks across Italy who cook the way their grandmothers taught them.
Highlights
- Shape three regional pasta recipes from scratch
- Cook at your own workstation with full ingredient kit
- Taste your creations paired with Modenese red and white wines
- Learn techniques directly from a practising home cook
- Eat in an authentic family kitchen, not a cooking school
What to expect
Your host will demonstrate each pasta shape and dough technique, then step back while you have a go. Expect some mess—flour on aprons is part of it. You'll move through the recipes one by one, getting hands-on guidance when needed. Once everything is cooked, you'll gather at the table to taste your work. The wines are poured; conversation happens. This isn't theatre; it's someone's kitchen and their way of cooking.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The class is private, so numbers stay small. Public transport links are nearby if you need them. Coffee and water included alongside the wine.
