Together, we will explore the Piedmontese culinary tradition through a Tuscan lens, blending the techniques and flavors of two renowned Italian regions. We will prepare traditional tajarin, ravioli del plin, and the typical pici senesi, following authentic regional recipes. You will learn to make two distinct doughs: one with eggs for the Piedmontese pasta and one without eggs for the pici. Each preparation will be enriched by learning specific techniques, such as the delicate “plin” for the ravioli and the handmade method for the pici. The course will conclude with a seasonal dessert, completing the culinary experience with a sweet touch that reflects local tradition. A unique opportunity to discover the roots and secrets of two extraordinary culinary traditions, learning how to enhance fresh ingredients and create dishes that tell stories and flavors of authentic cuisine.

5.00I gave this course to my partner being passionate about cooking and wanting to have a little different experience. It was great and fun to cook with chef Andrea, who gave us his knowledge and taught us some really useful little tricks. We prepared two different doughs and prepared plin, tajarin and picci, accompanied by two different salars one with tomatoes and the other with sausage. We had lunch outside with a view and tasted two different types of wine. We were very happy and recommend it or who wants to do something different. If I really have to find a flaw is that in the description it said that there would also be a dessert and instead there was not.

5.00The cooking class was superb. Andrea is a great chef and will teach you to make three types of pasta each with a different delicious sauce. Definitely a highlight of the trip and very reasonably priced.

5.00Andrea and his wife Catrina were excellent hosts. We were 4 couples who enjoy cooking classes. We prepared several pasta dishes with local ingredients, especially the tomatoes fresh from their garden. We dined on all of the pastas, plus a lovely desert. He also sent all the recipes so we may cook at home. I would strongly recommend this cooking experience

4.00It's a very interesting workshop. Andrea is an inspired professional cook who loves to tell. Everything was well prepared. We've learned a lot. It would be even nicer if we started with coffee and were offered something during the 4 hour class. The friends' club was so faint from hunger that the concentration disappeared. We only asked for some water ourselves. If 5 euros is added, some goodies can be put on the table and it becomes even more fun. Price quality is fine.
Great cooking lessons in Piedmont
