The Experience

By the time we’d finished dusting flour off our hands, the kitchen already smelled like something I wish I could bottle up and take home. Our chef, Marta, had us rolling out dough for pasta. She kept saying “più sottile!” (thinner!) and grinning at my lopsided attempt. The windows were open, and you could hear boats outside on the canal, but inside it was just laughter, clinking glasses, and the soft sticky sound of dough coming together. I didn’t expect to be this bad at shaping pasta, honestly.

We chopped artichokes for the starter (I learned the word “carciofi” after three tries, Marta laughed every time), then stirred a sauce that simmered with garlic so strong my eyes watered a little. The Prosecco flowed pretty much non-stop. Someone always topped up your glass before you noticed it was empty. There was this moment when everyone went quiet tasting their first forkful. Just a beat of silence before people started talking again. That’s when I realized how much work goes into what looks so simple on a plate in Venice.

Tiramisu was last: messy fingers, cocoa everywhere, mascarpone so creamy it almost slid off the spoon. We sat around a big table eating what we’d made together, swapping stories about where we were from. Marta told us how her grandmother used to make tiramisu for birthdays. It felt like we’d been invited into her family for an afternoon. Walking back out into the city later, I kept thinking about that warm kitchen light and how good it felt to do something with my own hands for once.
