Turin cooking class: Make fresh pasta with a local host

Cook and eat two Piedmontese dishes in a local's kitchen

A two-hour hands-on cooking class in a Turin home where you prepare an iconic fresh pasta recipe like Agnolotti del Plin or Gnocchi alla Bava, plus another regional course. Your host guides you through each step, then you sit down to eat both dishes you made, with still and sparkling water, a glass of wine per person, and coffee.

The experience

You arrive at your host's home in Turin and move straight into the kitchen. The cooking stations are fully equipped, and your local host walks you through preparing a traditional fresh pasta recipe. The kind Piedmontese cooks have made for generations. You handle the dough, shape it, and learn the techniques that separate homemade from anything else. While the pasta cooks, your host prepares a second course: a starter, main, or dessert that rounds out the meal.

After two hours of hands-on work, you sit down to eat. The pasta you made is on your plate, cooked to the moment. The second course arrives next. Still and sparkling water, a glass of wine per person, and coffee come with the meal. This is not a performance you watch. It is food you learned to make, in someone's actual kitchen, then tasted immediately.
