Private Pasta Making Class in a Historic Faenza Home with Giulia

Join Giulia in her home kitchen to learn how to cook traditional Romagna dishes. In this 2-hour hands-on cooking class in Faenza, you’ll discover the art of making handmade pasta along with a dessert. Giulia will show you how to prepare the dough, make homemade piadina (traditional Romagnolo flatbread), roll pasta with a wooden rolling pin, and create a classic Romagna dessert such as trifle, tiramisu, or traditional biscuits. After cooking, enjoy the meal you helped prepare, paired with a glass of local wine. If you choose the market tour option, Giulia will take you on a walking tour to a few neighborhood shops that are typical of Faenza. These locally owned stores offer high-quality regional produce. She will bring you to Carlo, the greengrocer, to pick up fresh produce and Parmigiano from Casa del Parmigiano; then to Baita, known for its excellent cured meats and traditional Romagna specialties; and finally to Marco, her trusted butcher, to buy his exceptional meat. After selecting a few local ingredients, you will walk back to Giulia’s home for your Faenza cooking class.
