Make fresh pasta, tiramisu, and two sauces in a chef's home, then sit down and eat together.

This is a small-group cooking class in a chef's home in Milan where you make fresh egg pasta, tiramisu, and two sauces from scratch under the guidance of a trained chef. The class runs about three and a half hours and includes an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting with artisan bread, wine, and a shared meal at the end. No pre-made ingredients, no shortcuts — the focus is on technique you can actually use at home.

The Experience

Rafael, a chef who worked in professional kitchens before opening his home to small groups, teaches the way Italian cooking actually happens — not as a performance but as a craft. You start with a tasting of carefully selected single-origin olive oils and premium balsamic vinegars paired with artisan bread and wine, which sets up the palate and the philosophy: when you have only a few ingredients, their quality and how you treat them decide everything. Then you move into the kitchen together.

You make fresh egg pasta from scratch — tagliatelle that you'll serve two ways. The first gets a classic pomodoro made from three ingredients: tomatoes, salt, and technique. The second meets a Parmigiano Reggiano sauce most people have never encountered, built on 24-month aged cheese and premium butter. Between the pastas, you prepare tiramisu, learning both the story and the methods that make it work. No one is standing at an individual station; everything unfolds in one real kitchen, the way it would if you were cooking with a friend who knows what he's doing.

At the end, the group sits down together to eat what you've made — pasta, tiramisu, wine, and the bread from the tasting. The class is kept small so everyone is involved in every step, and the instruction is in English. Bring an appetite and a willingness to work with your hands; leave with techniques that transfer to your own kitchen.

Is this one for you?The class is taught in English by a trained chef, so you can follow every step and ask questions as you work. If you want to understand technique rather than just follow a recipe, and you're comfortable learning in a real home kitchen with a small group rather than a commercial school, this is the experience for that.
