Pasta and Tiramisù Class at a Local's Home in Turin

Real Italian Cooking: Handmade Pasta and Tiramisù in a Local's Home

There is a special way to truly connect with a city: sit at its table. In Turin, discreet capital of great Italian cuisine, this cooking lesson at a local's home opens the doors to an authentic world, away from tourist restaurants and close to true tradition.

You'll learn to roll pasta by hand and to build a perfect tiramisù, guided step by step by someone who has been cooking these dishes forever. No performance, no special effects: only technique, passion and a few secrets passed down.

The small-group format guarantees personalised attention and a relaxed, almost familiar atmosphere. Before going to the stove, you start with an aperitivo to break the ice. At the end, lunch or dinner is what you've prepared with your own hands.

With a score of 4.9 out of 5 and enthusiastic reviews, this is one of Turin's most appreciated culinary experiences. A memory you'll take home along with the recipe.

From apron to plate: the full evening programme

The experience starts with a welcome aperitivo, the perfect moment to meet the other participants and settle into your host's kitchen. The atmosphere is homely, warm and informal, and the host knows how to put everyone at ease.

You start with handmade pasta: dough, rest, rolling and shaping. Every gesture has its logic and timing. You'll learn to recognise the right dough consistency, to handle the rolling pin and to shape with your hands, just as it was done in the past.

Then it's the turn of tiramisù, one of Italy's most beloved desserts and often most misunderstood abroad. Here you'll prepare it in the classic version, with every step in its place and no shortcuts. The cream, the coffee, the layering: nothing is left to chance.

Once the dishes are ready, the kitchen turns into a dining room. You all sit together and taste your own creations, in a convivial moment that is perhaps the most beautiful part of the whole afternoon.

At the end you'll receive the complete recipes to take home, so you can recreate everything in your own kitchen.
