The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the clatter of bowls and someone’s laughter echoing off the tiled walls—felt like walking into a friend’s kitchen, not a classroom. Our chef (I think her name was Giulia?) handed me an apron and winked, “Don’t worry, everyone messes up their first dough.” The smell of coffee and something sweet hit me right away—turns out that was the Tia Maria for our tiramisu. I tried to say “mascarpone” properly; Giulia grinned but didn’t correct me. There were six of us, all strangers at first, but by the time we started cracking eggs for pasta, it felt like we’d known each other longer.

I’d never made pasta from scratch before—honestly thought it would be harder. My hands got sticky fast (should’ve floured them more), but rolling out those long ribbons of fettuccine was weirdly calming. We learned how to make carbonara and cacio e pepe sauces—the real Roman way, no cream allowed. Giulia explained why while pouring us each a glass of prosecco. She told stories about her grandmother’s kitchen in Trastevere; I could almost picture it from the way she described the old wooden table and Sunday lunches. The whole place smelled like pepper and cheese by then, which is not a bad thing at all.

While our tiramisu chilled in the fridge (extra boozy—she wasn’t shy with the Tia Maria), we sipped local wine and swapped travel stories. Someone asked if limoncello counted as dessert or just a dare; nobody really answered but somehow my glass kept getting refilled. Eating what we’d made together around that big table felt different than just ordering food—you know? Maybe it was the wine talking but I still think about that creamy tiramisu sometimes when I’m back home staring at supermarket desserts.
