Ravenna: Traditional Emilian Home Cooking Class

The heart of this experience is the art of handmade pasta and the authentic culinary traditions of Romagna. Hosted in a charming private home in the historic center of Ravenna, you will enjoy an immersive cooking class led by a professional instructor and scholar of regional cuisine. Together, you will prepare a complete traditional menu using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Start by making delicious seasonal bruschettas before learning the time-honored techniques of fresh pasta making. Using the iconic Italian rolling pin, you'll prepare golden tagliatelle (or linguine) and discover the secrets of one of Romagna's most beloved stuffed pasta shapes: Cappelletti Romagnoli, carefully folded by hand. To end on a sweet note, you'll create Zuppa Inglese, one of the region's most treasured desserts, made with layers of liqueur-soaked sponge cake and velvety vanilla and chocolate custard. Throughout the class, your host will share stories, traditions, and culinary secrets passed down through generations, offering a genuine taste of Ravenna's rich gastronomic heritage. After cooking, sit down and enjoy the delicious dishes you've prepared together in a warm and convivial atmosphere.
