About this tour
Spend five hours in Ischia learning to cook two Italian classics alongside a Cesarina host and fellow food enthusiasts. You'll start at the local market, where your guide teaches you to pick seasonal produce like a local, then move to their home for an aperitivo and hands-on cooking class. Master a regional pasta shape and tiramisu, then sit down to eat everything you've made with local wine. This is regional Italian cooking stripped of pretence—shared with real people who know the food.
Highlights
- Shop the market with your Cesarina host, learn seasonal selection
- Master a signature Ischia pasta shape from scratch
- Prepare tiramisu using proper technique
- Drink Prosecco and nibbles before cooking begins
- Eat your own food with wine and coffee
- Cook in a local home, not a commercial kitchen
What to expect
You'll arrive at the local market with your Cesarina host, who talks you through what's good right now and why. Back at their home, you'll have prosecco and snacks to ease in, then move to the kitchen. Expect to get your hands messy—you're not watching demos, you're actually rolling pasta and layering tiramisu. Your host corrects technique as you go. Once everything's ready, you'll sit together to eat what you've cooked, paired with local wine. It's informal and unhurried.
Good to know
Five hours total, including market, cooking, and eating. Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. Public transport runs nearby if you need it. Groups are small, so booking ahead is wise. Bring an appetite.
