Tuscan Pasta & Tiramisu Class in Arezzo: Learn to Cook at Home

Roll pasta dough, shape two kinds by hand, master tiramisu, then sit down to eat it all

A three-hour hands-on cooking class in an Arezzo home where you learn to roll fresh pasta sheets and prepare two pasta dishes from scratch, plus tiramisu, then taste everything with local wines and coffee. Your host is a Cesarine: a local home cook from Italy's network of passionate cooks who teach family recipes in their own kitchens. The class runs in English or Italian, and you choose lunch or dinner when you book.

The experience

What separates this from a cooking demo is that you're the one doing the work. You'll roll 'sfoglia', the fresh pasta sheet, by hand, then shape it into two different pasta types: pici (homemade noodles in garlic sauce) and potato tortelli. After that comes tiramisu. Your host walks you through each step in their home kitchen, teaching techniques passed down through their family. The class starts with an Italian aperitivo of prosecco and nibbles, so you're not jumping straight into work.

Once everything is cooked, you sit down together to eat it. The meal includes the two pasta dishes and tiramisu you just made, plus a selection of local wines, water and coffee. You're eating with other people who signed up for the same class, so there's a social element built in. The kind of thing that happens naturally when you're all covered in flour and laughing over whether your tortelli are the right shape.

Cesarine hosts are home cooks, not restaurant chefs. They open their doors to travelers and teach the food they actually cook at home. The class takes three hours total. You can book it with lunch or dinner depending on what fits your day in Arezzo.
