Lecce: Handmade Pasta & Tiramisu Class with Wine
Rolling pasta dough in Lecce's oldest cooking kitchen
You spend a morning or afternoon making fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch under a local chef's guidance in central Lecce. The class includes three glasses of wine or soft drinks, a seated meal of everything you've cooked, and printed recipes to take home. Small group sizes mean hands-on correction, not a lecture.

The experience
You walk into a narrow kitchen tucked into the centro storico of Lecce, and your hands are already dusted with flour before the class begins. The chef (a local who learned these recipes from her grandmother) sets out the ingredients: soft wheat, eggs, ricotta, the kind of simple things that taste different when you know how to use them. You're making ravioli, fettuccine, and tiramisu all in one session, and the rhythm of it (mixing, rolling, cutting, tasting) fills the next few hours without feeling rushed.
The ravioli comes first. You learn the fold, the seal, the exact thickness of the dough so it doesn't tear when it hits boiling water. The chef corrects your hands gently, shows you the Apulian way, which is slightly different from what you might have seen elsewhere. Then the fettuccine: thinner, faster, the kind of thing that looks easy until you try it. By the time you're layering tiramisu, you've already made mistakes and fixed them, and that's the whole point. Small groups mean the chef actually watches what you're doing, not just talking at a crowd.
When everything is cooked, you sit down at a table with what you've made. Three glasses of wine (local Primitivo or Negroamaro) come with the meal, or soft drinks if that's what you want. The tiramisu is cold and bitter and sweet all at once, and you're eating something you built with your own hands an hour ago. Before you leave, you get the recipes written down, so the cooking class in Lecce doesn't end when you walk back out into the street.
