Pasta and Tiramisu Class in Assisi: Learn from a Local Cook

Make two kinds of pasta and tiramisu in someone's kitchen, not a cooking school.

A hands-on pasta and tiramisu class in Assisi held in a local home cook's kitchen, where you learn to roll fresh pasta by hand, prepare two filled pasta shapes from scratch, and make tiramisu before tasting everything with wine and aperitivo. The class runs three hours in a small group led by a Cesarine host in English or Italian, with all ingredients and beverages included. Choose the morning or afternoon slot to fit your schedule.

The experience

What separates this from a cooking school is the setting: you're working in someone's home kitchen, not a commercial studio. Your host is a Cesarine: part of Italy's network of home cooks who open their doors to teach the dishes their families have made for generations. They'll walk you through rolling sfoglia (fresh pasta sheet) by hand, then show you how to shape and fill two different kinds of pasta, each one a recipe from their own kitchen. The whole thing takes three hours, and you'll work alongside other travelers who showed up for the same reason you did.

After the cooking comes the eating. You taste everything you've made (both pasta dishes and the tiramisu) with a selection of local wines, water and coffee. An Italian aperitivo of prosecco and nibbles starts the class, so you're never working on an empty stomach. The host treats the group like family, which is the whole point of how Cesarine works: it's not a performance or a demonstration, it's an invitation into how someone actually cooks at home.
