Turin’s cooking classes offer the most authentic way to experience Piedmont’s celebrated cuisine. These 3-4 hour workshops take place in local homes and professional kitchens where you’ll learn to make regional classics.
We love the market-to-kitchen classes where skilled home cooks guide you through selecting seasonal ingredients before teaching family recipes passed down through generations. The pasta-making workshops are especially practical – you’ll master the techniques for crafting tajarin and agnolotti del plin, two local specialties.
Most classes include wine pairings and accommodate dietary restrictions. Small groups (usually 6-8 people) ensure personal attention, and English-speaking instructors make techniques easy to understand.
