Cucina Italiana - Fresh Pasta and Tiramisù Cooking Class in Rome

Cucina Italiana - Fresh Pasta and Tiramisù Cooking Class in Rome

Food is an alternative and delicious way to learn about a country’s culture and history, especially Italy’s. Join us in our home for an immersive and engaging cooking lesson where you will learn how to prepare pasta from scratch and a classic Italian dessert, tiramisù. Other dessert options are also available if you'd like alternatives.

You’ll also hear about the origins of each dish and personal tips for cooking authentic Italian cuisine. Your hard work will be rewarded when you sit down to your very own home-cooked meal (appetizer, first course and dessert) with a good bottle of wine. Buon appetito! 

The recipes will be sent to you after the class via email, so you can try them on your own back at home.
