Sardinian Cooking Class in Olbia: Make Three Courses

Cook a three-course Sardinian meal in someone's kitchen, not a restaurant.

A private hands-on cooking class in Olbia where you prepare mazza frissa, Sardinian agnolotti and tiramisù from scratch in a local home, then sit down to eat the meal you've cooked with local wines and coffee. The class runs three hours and is taught in English or Italian. You choose lunch or dinner timing at checkout. Cesarine, Italy's network of home cooks, runs the experience.

The experience

You arrive at a local cook's home in Olbia and spend three hours making a traditional three-course menu. Start with mazza frissa, a Gallura appetizer, move into handmade Sardinian agnolotti, and finish with tiramisù. Each dish is built from scratch: no shortcuts, no demonstration-only watching. The cook guides you through the techniques and the stories behind the food, and you handle the work.

After cooking, you sit at the table with the person who taught you and eat everything you've made, paired with local wines, water and coffee. The meal happens in the home itself, in the kind of warm, unhurried way that happens when you're eating with the cook rather than at a service counter. This is how Sardinians eat at home, and you're learning it the way someone in the family would.

The class is private, so it's just you and your group with one cook. English and Italian are both available. Public transportation runs nearby if you need it to get there. Vegetarian options exist if you need them.
