About this tour
A three-hour hands-on cooking class where you'll make fresh pasta sheets, shape fettuccine and ravioli by hand, and prepare tiramisu from scratch under a chef's guidance. You'll cook alongside other participants, then sit down together to eat what you've made. It's designed for anyone keen to learn proper Italian pasta technique and walk away with real skills, not just a recipe card.
Highlights
- Shape fettuccine and ravioli by hand from fresh pasta dough
- Learn tiramisu construction with mascarpone and espresso
- Cook and eat the dishes you've prepared with the group
- Chef explains cultural context and stories behind each dish
- All ingredients, equipment, apron and utensils supplied
- Fully wheelchair accessible venue and surfaces

What to expect
You'll arrive and be given an apron and briefed on the session structure. The chef walks you through making pasta dough, then demonstrates techniques for rolling and shaping fettuccine and ravioli whilst you work alongside them, asking questions and practising each step. You'll move on to tiramisu, layering mascarpone cream and espresso-soaked biscuits under instruction.
Once everything is ready, the group gathers to eat the pasta and tiramisu you've all made together in a shared dining space. The chef will share context about where these dishes come from and why they matter in Italian cooking. The whole experience runs about three hours from start to finish.

Good to know
This suits home cooks and pasta enthusiasts who want to move beyond recipes into proper technique, and anyone interested in Italian food culture. No cooking experience is required. The class is fully accessible for wheelchair users, with ramped entry, accessible surfaces and facilities. It's not physically demanding but does involve standing at a work bench for the duration, so let the chef know about any mobility concerns when you arrive. The meal is included and shared with the group; bring nothing extra unless you have specific dietary needs (flag these when you book). Transportation to the venue isn't included, though public transport options are nearby. The class takes three hours; there's no break for a separate meal afterwards.
