What to expect
You'll arrive at your host's home and get straight into the kitchen. Expect to mix, knead, shape and cook alongside someone who's been making these dishes for years. The first half covers pasta preparation—rolling, cutting, getting the texture right. Then you'll move to tiramisu, layering and chilling while your pasta cooks. By the time you sit down to eat, you'll understand why these recipes matter locally. Wine and coffee accompany the meal. It's hands-on rather than demonstration-heavy.
