Begin your day in Asti, in Piedmont, Italy, with a guided walk through a traditional farmer’s market, where you’ll explore stalls filled with seasonal vegetables, cheeses, flours and more. You’ll meet local producers, taste fresh ingredients and learn how to shop like an Italian.

After the market visit, we’ll return to Alfredo’s kitchen, an elegant and welcoming Italian kitchen where you’ll become an Italian cook for a day. Guided by an experienced professional chef, you’ll turn your market ingredients into a fresh pasta dish in an authentic and convivial setting.

During this hands-on cooking class, you’ll learn how to make creamy fettuccine Alfredo and hand-folded agnolotti del plin, while discovering the tools, techniques and professional traditions of true Italian cuisine. You’ll knead the dough by hand and roll it out with a modern electric pasta machine, guided step by step by a passionate local professional chef who will share stories, practical tips and the secrets behind each recipe.

This experience transforms you from guest to Italian cook, with the energy of a professional kitchen and Italian music, singing and dancing as an integral part of the experience. After class, you’ll sit down and enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared, paired with a glass of excellent local Piedmont wine.

No previous cooking experience is needed, just curiosity, enthusiasm and a love for good food. Perfect for solo travelers, couples, friends and families, this class is designed for all skill levels and offers an intimate and memorable taste of Piedmontese hospitality, starting from the market stalls and ending in Alfredo’s kitchen.
