Together, we will explore the Piedmontese culinary tradition through a Tuscan lens, blending the techniques and flavors of two renowned Italian regions. We will prepare traditional tajarin, ravioli del plin, and the typical pici senesi, following authentic regional recipes. You will learn to make two distinct doughs: one with eggs for the Piedmontese pasta and one without eggs for the pici. Each preparation will be enriched by learning specific techniques, such as the delicate “plin” for the ravioli and the handmade method for the pici. The course will conclude with a seasonal dessert, completing the culinary experience with a sweet touch that reflects local tradition. A unique opportunity to discover the roots and secrets of two extraordinary culinary traditions, learning how to enhance fresh ingredients and create dishes that tell stories and flavors of authentic cuisine.

What to expect
In the Heart of the Monferrato Hills, Between Moncalvo and Asti
Welcome to my B&B, nestled in the tranquil hills of Monferrato, just 10 minutes from Moncalvo and 15 minutes from Asti. Surrounded by vineyards, the scent of wild herbs, and the slow pace of the countryside, I offer authentic Piedmontese cooking classes, enriched with Tuscan influences that reflect my personal history.
I am a professional chef born in Tuscany, with a deep passion for both the cuisine and traditions of Piedmont. In my courses, I teach how to prepare fresh pasta the traditional way: tajarin, ravioli del plin, potato gnocchi, and other local recipes, always accompanied by seasonal sauces, local ingredients, and occasional nods to my homeland.
This experience is designed for those who love to get their hands into dough, learn the secrets of regional cuisine, and enjoy a genuine meal in good company, all with a view of the UNESCO-listed hills.
The classes take place in the kitchen of my B&B, creating a warm, informal, and family-friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a cooking enthusiast, a curious traveler, or simply looking for an authentic experience, you'll be most welcome.
