Pasta Making Class in Modena with Francesca, a Michelin-Star Chef

Overview

Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a local Rubiera home with your host Francesca. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. An incredibly hospitable host, Francesca welcomes you into her Rubiera home with a warm smile. Over a glass of Italian wine, learn about her life growing up in a restaurant as well as the history behind Italian food. Learn to cook in her kitchen a variety of traditional pastas and then join Francesca at the dining table for your meal. Please note that on most days Francesca will host alone, but occasionally her husband, Thomas and her mother, Franca might be present. Francesca grew up in a restaurant (literally!), one of the first Michelin star restaurants in Italy. Her family has owned and run the restaurant since 1936. Working in this family-owned, Michelin star restaurant for many years taught Francesca everything there is to know about ingredients, cooking techniques, plating, serving and hosting.
