About this experience
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.
