Milan: Pasta Tiramisu Cooking Class in a Chef’s Home(Small Group)
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Hosted in a real chef’s home — not a commercial cooking school.
This experience is designed to feel personal, not staged. You won’t be in a classroom with individual stations, but in a real home where everything happens together, just like in Italy.
I’m a trained chef with experience in professional kitchens, and the focus here is not just following recipes, but understanding technique — so you can actually recreate what you learn.
We work with carefully selected ingredients, avoid shortcuts, and keep the group small to ensure everyone is involved.
It’s a balance between professional cooking and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — more like cooking with a friend who knows exactly what he’s doing.
Additional Info
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
Service animals allowed

What To Expect
If you’re looking for a quick, tourist-style activity, this is probably not for you. This experience takes place in my home in Milan, where I host small groups and teach real Italian cooking the way it’s actually done. I’m Rafael — I worked in professional kitchens before deciding to create something more personal, where people can truly understand what they are doing, not just follow instructions. We start with a tasting of carefully selected olive oil and balsamic vinegar, with artisan bread and wine — not as a formality, but to understand flavor. Then we prepare a proper tiramisu, and fresh egg pasta from scratch. No shortcuts. No pre-made ingredients. You’ll learn techniques you can actually reuse — not just recipes. We finish by cooking two sauces: – A balanced, classic pomodoro – A Parmigiano Reggiano sauce most people have never tried before At the end, we sit down and eat together — like it should be. Small group. Real cooking. No compromises.

5.00Cooking class with Rafael was very enjoyable. He explained ingredients, techniques and even how to adjust flavors to your taste. The dishes were simple to make. We liked knowing that we could go home on our own and make it ourselves.
A fantastic experience!

5.00If you're considering a cooking class in Milan, pick this one! The rave reviews are spot on. We were debating between a few class options but kept coming back to this one based on the reviews and we're so happy we did. Rafael is an exceptional host, teacher, and chef; you can truly feel that he loves what he does. The pasta and tiramasu were absolutely divine. This was easily a highlight of our trip and would 10/10 recommend this experience with Rafael to anyone.
