What will you actually do in the class?
This is a hands-in-the-flour class from the first minute, no demos to watch from a stool.
You’ll make your own dough, learn to feel when it’s ready, and turn it into the two dishes every guest makes and eats: fettuccine, cut into ribbons by hand, and ravioli, filled and sealed with no air trapped inside. Then you make your own tiramisù.
You pick the sauce for your fettuccine (tomato and basil, cacio e pepe or amatriciana) and the kitchen cooks it while you work, so the three hours stay on the pasta; the ravioli go with butter and sage.
Time and season permitting, the chefs also show you how the same dough becomes the Tuscan cuts, hand-rolled pici and wide pappardelle, so you can make them at home.
Most Florence classes call twelve people a small group. Ours never seats more than eight, which is the whole reason a chef is at your elbow when a fold goes wrong instead of demonstrating at the front of the room.
When the pasta is done we cook it together and sit down to a proper Tuscan meal: the pasta you just made, your own tiramisù, a glass of wine, then limoncello or coffee, all included in the price.
What you take home
- We email you the recipes for everything you made, so the dough you learned by feel is still there next month.
- Whatever you don’t eat, you take with you: we dry it, bag it, and it goes back to the hotel with you.
Who’s teaching
Your hosts are Endri Cerhozi and Marsel, two lifelong friends who are the head chefs of two agriturismi in the hills outside Florence. Pasta for weddings, feasts and live shows is their day job; this kitchen is where they teach it. You can read more in our story.
