Cooking class in Arzachena: Make 3 local dishes

Cook three Sardinian dishes, then eat them at the table

A private cooking class in Arzachena where you learn to make three traditional regional recipes from scratch in a local home, then share the meal you've prepared with your Cesarina host over lunch or dinner with wine and coffee. You choose between the 3 Recipes class or the Pasta and Tiramisu class at checkout. Public transportation options are available nearby.

The experience

You arrive at a local home in Arzachena and spend three hours learning to cook the way Sardinians do at home. Your host (a Cesarina, part of Italy's network of home cooks who open their kitchens to travelers) walks you through making three dishes from scratch: a seasonal starter with an Italian-style aperitivo, fresh pasta (gnocchi, fregola, culurgiones, ravioli or lorighittas, depending on the season), and a typical Sardinian dessert like seadas. You do the cooking yourself, not watching a demonstration. The recipes change with what's in season, so the class shifts with the year.

Once you've finished cooking, you sit down at the table with your host to eat what you've made. The meal comes with wine, beverages and coffee. This is not a formal lesson followed by a meal elsewhere. The cooking and the eating are one experience, the way a family would do it. You're welcomed into the home as a guest, not as a student in a studio kitchen.
