Cooking Class in Rimini: Learn 3 Local Recipes at Home

You cook the meal, then eat it together at the family table.

A three-hour cooking class in a local Rimini home where you prepare three regional dishes from scratch with your Cesarina host, then taste what you've made over lunch or dinner with wine and beverages. The class takes place in a private home in Rimini or the surrounding area, and your host speaks English. You choose between the Express lasagna class or the full three-recipe option at checkout.

The experience

You'll spend three hours in a carefully selected local home learning to make a seasonal starter, fresh pasta dish and typical dessert: the foundation of everyday eating in Rimini. Your Cesarina is a passionate home cook who opens her kitchen to teach you how she actually cooks, not a restaurant technique or a performance. The address stays private until after you book, but public transport runs nearby so you can reach the home without a car.

The cooking happens first, hands-on from the start: you're not watching a demonstration or following a video. You work alongside your host, learning the proportions, the timing, the small adjustments that make the difference between a dish that tastes right and one that doesn't. The pleasure of it goes beyond the recipes themselves. You're welcomed into a home the way an Italian family would welcome a guest, and that matters as much as the food.

After you finish cooking, you sit down together to eat what you've made. Wine, beverages and coffee come with the meal, and the conversation is part of the experience. You leave with three recipes you can actually cook at home, and the memory of having learned them in the place where they belong.

What’s included

• Instruction in preparing three local traditional dishes.
• all ingredients and kitchen equipment.
• lunch or dinner with the dishes you've cooked.
• wine, beverages and coffee.
