Fresh Piedmontese pasta: agnolotti al plin and tajarin 2026

My name is Teresa; opening the doors of my home has always been a celebration for my family and a way to meet new people. The kitchen is my kingdom and I am happy to share it and try new things to pass on the traditions of these wonderful places: the Langhe and the Roero.

We’ll start by making a traditional chocolate and amaretto dessert wrapped in a caramel ‘coat’: His Majesty the Bunet! Whilst the dessert is resting, we’ll get our hands dirty making Agnolotti al Plin and Tajarin. I learnt to cook these dishes with my grandmother; they were always on the table on special occasions. Even today, every time I make a ‘plin’ (pinch) to seal the fresh pasta, I feel as though I can see her hands, lovingly reminding me of the secrets to perfect pasta!

: We had the most wonderful time cooking with Teresa! The recipes were incredibly delicious and so characteristic to the region. We actually remade the agnolotti del plin’s for my mother’s birthday dinner and she still raves about it! Thank you so much to Teresa for welcoming us into your beautiful home so we could enjoy the stunning views, but mostly your hospitality, culinary expertise, and wonderful family.
: We spent a delightful afternoon at Teresa's lovely home, cooking the best Italian dishes we've ever made — truly authentic Piedmontese cuisine. Aprons on, we made tajarin with ragu, agnolotti al plin, and finished with a chocolate bunet for dessert, whisking together the cocoa, amaretti cookies, and cream by hand while the kitchen filled with the smell of chocolate. Teresa's kitchen was warm and well-organized, with a bright terrace looking out over the garden, and she was a wonderful teacher and conversationalist, sharing stories along with her recipes. Our family felt completely at home, and we'd love to come back the next time we're in Italy!"
: Wow! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into Teresa’s beautiful home with such genuine warmth and hospitality that we immediately felt like guests rather than customers. Teresa is an exceptional teacher, knowledgeable, patient, and passionate, and made every step of the pasta-making process both fun and easy to follow. The food we created was absolutely delicious, and the stunning setting made the entire experience even more memorable. I genuinely can’t recommend this experience highly enough. If you’re looking for an authentic, unforgettable culinary experience with an incredible host, this is it.
: Cooking with Teresa was a wonderful experience. She made us feel at home immediately. Teresa loves the Langhe region, and it really shows by cooking local dishes with local ingredients. She passionately tells about stories of her cooking with her grandma. Teresa explains the cooking instructions well, and gives goods tips and tricks which we can apply at home when we cook Italian. Thanks you for the wonderful night Teresa!
: We (my wife and me) had a wonderful experience. We had a cooking class with Teresa and already felt very welcome from the start. This continued during the evening, she has a passion for cooking, but especially sharing with others. We have learned to cook some nice Piëmont dishes. But especially her enthusiasm is very contagious. Stuffed with the great food we learned to cook, we left with the feeling that we leave behind new friends.

Cooking has always been a great passion of mine. Growing up in a large family, the table was always an important place for sharing and togetherness. Even today, in my home, there is a long table often surrounded by friends with whom I share ideas, emotions, challenges and plenty of laughter over good dishes from the Piedmontese tradition. When I cook, I enter almost a parallel world where everything feels lighter and clearer, and I feel energized again. I don’t have professional culinary qualifications, but I have gained a lot of experience from growing up in a large family where every occasion was a good reason to celebrate together, as well as from a close-knit group of friends who feel like family. I also enjoy dedicating some of my time to local associations by organizing charity dinners to support their activities. In the kitchen I love preparing the dishes I watched my grandmother make: winter afternoons spent making agnolotti al plin, braised meats, roasts, tajarin and ragù — all authentic flavors of the Piedmontese tradition from the Roero area.
