Private Pizza & Tiramisu Class in Padua: Make & Taste

Roll up your sleeves in a family kitchen and feast on pizza and tiramisù you made yourself.

A private hands-on cooking class in Padua where you learn to make pizza and tiramisu from a Cesarina: a local home cook who teaches family recipes in her own kitchen. The class runs three hours and includes the ingredients, an apron, and a meal with local wine so you taste what you've prepared. It suits families with children of any age and anyone who wants to cook rather than watch.

The experience

You arrive at a local home in Padua and spend the afternoon as an apprentice to a real Italian home cook. She teaches you how to make pizza dough and shape it the way her family has for years, then moves on to tiramisu: the layering, the timing, the way the flavors come together. This is not a demonstration. You handle the ingredients, work the dough, build the dish. A Cesarina (that's what Le Cesarine calls their hosts) guides you through each step in English or Italian, sharing the shortcuts and the reasoning behind them that you won't find in a recipe book.

Once you've finished cooking, you sit down to lunch or dinner and eat what you made, paired with a selection of local wines. The meal is part of the class. It's how you taste the result of your own work and understand what you've learned. Water and coffee come with it. You leave with an official Le Cesarine apron and the muscle memory of how to make both dishes, which is what matters when you try them at home.
