Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Lecce: Learn 2 dishes at home

Make two pasta shapes and tiramisu in a home kitchen, then eat what you cooked.

A private pasta and tiramisu-making class in Lecce held in a Cesarina's home, where you learn to prepare two pasta recipes and tiramisu dessert from scratch, then taste them with local wines at lunch or dinner. The class runs three hours and is suitable for families with children of all ages. You receive an official Le Cesarine apron and take home the skills to cook an Italian meal for friends and family.

The experience

You arrive at a local home in Lecce where a Cesarina (a member of Italy's network of home cooks) welcomes you into her kitchen. For three hours, you work hands-on alongside her, learning how to make two pasta dishes and tiramisu from scratch. She teaches you the family secrets and tricks of the trade for these iconic recipes, walking you through each step so you understand not just what to do, but why. This is a private lesson, so the pace and focus are yours alone.

Once you've finished cooking, you sit down to taste everything you made, paired with local wines and water. The meal serves as both lunch or dinner depending on when you book. You'll leave with an official Le Cesarine apron and the confidence to recreate these dishes at home: the kind of meal that impresses people who know Italian food.
