Milan: Pasta Tiramisu Cooking Class in a Chef’s Home(Small Group)

Overview

Available languages

English

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

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.

We had a great time! Rafael opened his home for us and made us feel like we were having dinner with friends! At first, we had wine and bread with olive oil and balsamic. We made tagliatelle with butter and cheese sauce and with tomato sauce and completed our dinner with homemade tiramisu. Everything was delicious! It was something different from the normal "tourist" activities. I would definitely recommend it!
