Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class in Sanremo

Roll pasta by hand, layer tiramisu, taste what you made

A hands-on cooking class in a local home in Sanremo where you learn to roll fresh pasta from scratch, prepare two pasta recipes and make tiramisu, then taste everything with Italian aperitivo, local wines and coffee. Your host is a Cesarine: a passionate home cook from the region who teaches family recipes. Morning and afternoon departures available.

The experience

You arrive in Sanremo with a free afternoon or morning and no plans to fill it. A cooking class in someone's home solves that: you walk in, roll up your sleeves, and spend three hours learning what a local actually cooks. Your host (a Cesarine, part of Italy's network of home cooks) teaches you two pasta recipes from scratch, starting with how to roll 'sfoglia', the fresh pasta sheet, by hand. Then you move on to tiramisu. The kitchen is theirs. The recipes are from their family cookbook. You're not watching a demonstration or following a video. You're making it yourself, with their hands nearby if you get stuck.

The class opens with prosecco and nibbles, an Italian aperitivo to settle in, then moves straight into the cooking. You'll work alongside other travelers who showed up for the same reason you did. After everything is made, you sit down and taste it: both pasta dishes, the tiramisu, local wine, water and coffee included. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available if you need them. The whole thing takes three hours. Public transportation stops are nearby if you're not driving.

Choose the morning departure if you want the class finished by early afternoon, or the afternoon slot if you're sleeping in or have plans that morning. Either way, you leave with two pasta techniques in your hands and a recipe you can actually follow at home.
