Cook three authentic Rimini recipes in a home kitchen, then sit down to eat them.

A private cooking class in Rimini where you shop the local market with a home cook, learn to prepare three traditional dishes in their kitchen, and taste everything you've made over lunch or dinner with local wines. The experience runs about four and a half hours and is held in a carefully selected local home. You choose between a morning or afternoon departure, and the guide speaks English or Italian.

The Experience

The class starts at the vibrant local market and traditional food shops of Rimini, where your host (a passionate home cook from Cesarine's network of over 1,000 cooks across Italy) walks you through what to buy and why. You'll handle the shopping yourself, learning which vendors matter and what makes each ingredient worth the stop. Then you move to their home kitchen, where you have your own workstation with all the utensils and ingredients already laid out.

You'll learn the secrets behind three authentic Rimini recipes: the lesson covers a seasonal starter, fresh pasta dishes like passatelli with fish sauce or tagliatelle, and a typical dessert such as tiramisù or zuppa inglese. Your host reveals the tricks of the trade as you work through each one, and you get to put your own skills to the test in real time. Nothing is a demonstration. You're the one doing the cooking.

Once everything is ready, you sit down to taste everything you've prepared, accompanied by a selection of red and white local wines, plus beverages and coffee. The whole experience takes about four and a half hours. You can pick a morning or afternoon slot depending on what fits the rest of your day, and public transportation options are available if you need them to reach the home.
