Shared Experience
Your experience
- Pappardelle or tagliatelle with Tuscan meat sauce, or seasonal vegetales
- Spaghetti alla chitarra with red mullet sauce or seasonal vegetables
- Ricotta tortelli with parmesan cheese, butter and sage
Just a few minutes from downtown Florence, in a cozy and refined setting, our fresh egg pasta cooking class includes making stuffed tortelli, pappardelle and spaghetti alla chitarra. It is easy to make egg pasta, difficult is to get pasta that has texture, and does not break as we go to roll our noodles. We'll work on my big wooden pastry board, you'll have a station with the tools you need, we'll do all the steps together, I'll teach you the tricks that make it possible to get a pasta that's consistent, that's strong, that hugs the sauce well, that's delicious. Making egg pasta takes patience, fresh pasta is an exercise where you need more patience than in yoga, the tasting will reward us.

- Thank you very much for the wonderful experience of cooking at your wonderful home. We will share this with our friends at home.
- We had a wonderful and fun evening with Tamara and Alfredo. Meeting this coupl - Alfredo - teacher and and cook and Tamara - fantastic host- was definitely a highlite of our vacation
- Tamara is a fantastic host, and Alfredo is an engaging cook and teacher. We had a wonderful; afternoon in their home with three other couples. We were welcomed with a glass of prosecco, and the we drank delicious wines, as Alfredo showed us how to prepare fresh pasta. He then demonstrated how to prepare a ricotta and spinach stuffing, which he used to stuff tortellis in front of us, explaining where to get the material, and how to proceed. Then, with the remaining fresh pasta, he showed us how to make tagliatelle, which we continued to do ourselves. It was really a fun time. But the best, was that we got to eat all sort of good food: bruschetta, other typical Tuscan appetizers, and then the tortellis Alfredo preapred earlier were served in a marjoram butter sauce, followed by the tagliatelle we prepared, served with a typical Tuscan ragu (meat sauce) or with a Sugo finto (typical Florentine vegetarian sauce) according to your preference. Then we ate a tiramisu, prepared earlier by Alfredo. Following this event, we received the recipes of everything I mentioned by email, so we can attempt to do it at home. I just completed my first attempt at an homemade tiramisu! Really, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience: you will have a blast, you will learn a lot and you'll eat like a king. Tamara, Alfredo, thank you for this really pleasant afternoon in your home. What a treat! Chantal and Stéphane

- Good Evening Tamara and Alfredo. Wow! What an incredible afternoon you gave us today. Thank you so much for inviting us in to your home. Please, once again extend our deepest gratitude to your neighbours for not only helping us to the train station, but also adding even more hospitality to the whole experience. Such joy and love was given to all. Alfredo, you teaching and cuisine is second to none. Wonderful sights and tastes. A fantastic learning and cultural opportunity.
