Cooking class in the farmhouse: preparation of pasta and sbrisolona

An engaging experience for those who want to learn about traditional Brescian cuisine by taking part in a cooking class to be held at a historic farmhouse in the Lugana area. An engaging way to discover the culture of the area by following family recipes.

You will visit the heart of this PDO area renowned for its white mineral and landscape. Elisa and Mamma Raffaella will guide you through this experience of taste and that typical culinary activity of the Italian tradition, home-made pasta.

The cookery course will start with the collecting of vegetables in the garden, then you will follow a very homemade but not at all obvious recipe for the preparation of fresh pasta.

Elisa and Raffaella will choose with you the best 0km ingredients and will teach you the techniques to prepare the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin, helping your manual skills in every step.

In a morning of cooking experience, you will prepare two types of pasta, tagliatelle and stuffed pasta, and a typical Mantuan dessert, the 'sbrisolona', and then enjoy the fruits of your labour accompanied by a fine glass of Lugana wine, produced on the farm.

Comfortable clothing is recommended; during the preparation you will have to tie up your hair (if you wear it long) and remove any jewellery.

As soon as you purchase the experience, you will have a chat facility through which you can tell us if you have any intolerances or allergies to specific ingredients or if you are a vegetarian.

A workshop designed for those who want to try their hand at cooking for the first time or for those who want to cook with friends.
