Highlights
Together, we will explore Piedmontese culinary traditions through a Tuscan perspective, combining the techniques and flavors of two of Italy’s most renowned gastronomic regions. We will prepare traditional tajarin, ravioli del plin, and authentic Tuscan pici, following the original recipes. You will learn how to make two different types of fresh pasta dough: an egg-based dough for the Piedmontese pasta and an egg-free dough for the pici. Each preparation will introduce you to specific traditional techniques, from the delicate “plin” used to shape the ravioli to the hand-rolling technique used to make pici. The cooking class will also include a tasting of a selection of local wines. This is a unique opportunity to discover the roots and secrets of two extraordinary Italian culinary traditions, learning how to make the most of fresh ingredients and create dishes that tell the stories and express the authentic flavors of their regions.

5A culinary highlight and holiday memories.
The pace was relaxed and the group very friendly. Andrea was an excellent teacher, taking time to explain the choice of ingredients, Italian culinary traditions and techniques to elevate our cookery. We made three types of pasta, all with different sauces, eating them together in a comfortable setting. An experience delivering great holiday memories for my family!
5Amazing cooking class with Andrea
Andrea’s fresh pasta cooking class was absolutely amazing and went far beyond our expectations. Andrea was warm, patient, very accommodating, and made the whole experience feel personal and special. He was incredible with the kids, keeping them involved and excited, while also making sure the adults had a great time and learned a lot. The setting was beautiful, the pasta was fresh and delicious, and the entire class felt authentic, relaxed, and very well organized. Andrea clearly loves what he does, and that made the experience even better. We all left very happy and grateful. I would highly recommend this class to families, couples, or anyone looking for a real Italian cooking experience in a beautiful place. Truly one of the highlights of our trip.
5Pasta heaven
The cooking class was superb. Andrea is a great chef and will teach you to make three types of pasta each with a different delicious sauce. Definitely a highlight of the trip and very reasonably priced.
5Fabulous cooking class in Monferrato
Andrea and his wife Catrina were excellent hosts. We were 4 couples who enjoy cooking classes. We prepared several pasta dishes with local ingredients, especially the tomatoes fresh from their garden. We dined on all of the pastas, plus a lovely desert. He also sent all the recipes so we may cook at home. I would strongly recommend this cooking experience

About Asti
Asti is a wine town in Piedmont, home of the sparkling wine that bears its name, with medieval towers and a bareback horse race each September.
Asti lies on a plain among the vine-covered hills of Piedmont's Monferrato district, south-east of Turin. It grew as a medieval commune of towers and merchant-bankers, and the cathedral, a Gothic building of red brick, and a number of medieval tower-houses survive in the old centre. Piazza Alfieri, a long triangular square named after the poet Vittorio Alfieri, who was born in the town, is its centre.
