Florence: Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class

Additional Information & Description

A Florentine home is the setting for this cooking class, bringing Italian food into the domestic kitchen rather than a restaurant dining room. The class draws on the Cesarine network of more than 500 home chefs, whose work celebrates Italy’s culinary heritage through treasured family recipes and regional specialties.

Prepare two pasta dishes and homemade tiramisu

The cooking session covers two classic pasta types and homemade tiramisu. You’ll work on two distinct pasta recipes, giving the savoury part of the class more range than a single-dish lesson, before turning to dessert. Pasta and tiramisu share the focus here: the class brings both parts of an Italian meal into one session, with time devoted to making rather than simply tasting them.

Aperitivo and a meal are included

An Italian aperitivo of Prosecco and nibbles forms part of the experience. Lunch or dinner follows, featuring the two pasta recipes and tiramisu prepared during the class. Water, wine and coffee are also included. The meal gives the cooking a clear endpoint: you sit down to eat the dishes you have been learning to make, rather than ending the session when the kitchen work is finished.

Three hours, with English and Italian instruction

Allow three hours for the experience as a whole, encompassing the cooking class and its included food and drinks. Instruction is available in English and Italian, so the recipe explanations are part of the experience in those languages, not just the practical cooking itself.
