Market tour and cooking class in Fasano: Make pasta and tiramisu

You learn to make two dishes, not watch someone else make them.

A small group cooking class in Fasano pairs a guided market tour with hands-on instruction in a Cesarina host's home. You'll select seasonal ingredients at the local market, then return to cook one iconic pasta type and tiramisu from scratch, finishing with a tasting of everything you've made alongside local wines. The class runs five hours and includes an Italian aperitivo, apron and beverages.

The experience

The morning starts at the local market with your Cesarina host, who teaches you how to pick seasonal ingredients the way locals do. You'll learn what makes one choice better than another and why timing matters for quality. Then you walk to her home, where an Italian aperitivo of Prosecco and nibbles sets the tone before the hands-on work begins.

In the kitchen, you make one iconic pasta type typical of Fasano and the famous tiramisu. These aren't demonstrations you watch from a stool. You're at the counter doing the work, with your host guiding you through technique and the reasoning behind each step. The class is small enough that everyone gets real instruction, not a rushed overview.

After you finish cooking, you sit down to taste everything you've prepared with local wines, coffee and beverages included. The meal is what you made, which changes how it tastes.
