Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Ostuni: Cook with a Cesarina

Cook pasta and tiramisu in a local home, then eat what you made

A private pasta and tiramisu-making class in Ostuni held in a Cesarina's home, where you learn to prepare two pasta recipes and tiramisu from scratch, then taste them with local wines. The class runs three hours and suits families with children of all ages. You receive an official Le Cesarine apron and take home the cooking knowledge to recreate the meal at home.

The experience

Ostuni's Cesarina opens her home kitchen for a hands-on cooking lesson built around the region's most famous pasta dishes and tiramisu. You work alongside her for three hours, learning the family secrets behind each recipe as you prepare two pasta dishes and the tiramisu dessert from the ground up. She teaches the tricks of the trade: the techniques that make the difference between a dish that tastes right and one that tastes like home.

After you finish cooking, you sit down to taste everything you made, paired with local wines and coffee. The meal is either lunch or dinner depending on which option you choose at checkout. Le Cesarine is Italy's oldest network of home cooks, operating in more than 120 cities. The hosts are passionate about sharing their culinary traditions with curious travelers in an authentic setting, not a commercial kitchen.

You'll wear an official Le Cesarine apron during the class and take it home as a reminder. Water, wine and coffee are included, along with the tasting itself. Public transportation options are available near the home if you need them.

What’s included

• Private three-hour cooking class in the Cesarina's home.
• instruction on two pasta recipes and tiramisu.
• tasting of everything you prepare with local wines and coffee.
• official Le Cesarine apron to take home.
