Italian cuisine has fans everywhere, and nothing beats tasting it where it was born. At Tenuta Torciano we teach you to cook the dishes that made Italy famous — pizza, pasta, ice cream, and one sweet finish: tiramisù.
Cooking classes
Learn the recipes behind Italy's favourite dishes
Visiting Italy is also about discovering its flavours: dishes taste more genuine and authentic in the place where they were born. That's why we run cooking classes at our cellar, so you can learn to make Italy's best-known dishes yourself.
Choose a Pizza Cooling Class, an Ice Cream Class, or a Tuscan Cooking Class, where you prepare several dishes — tiramisù included.
The dessert

Tiramisù recipe
Here's how to make it at home.
Ingredients:
- 500 g mascarpone
- 80 g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 250 g of savoiardi (ladyfinger) biscuits
- 1 cup strong coffee
- cocoa, to taste
- dark chocolate flakes
Preparation:
Make the cream
Whip the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy, then work in the mascarpone with a wooden spoon until smooth. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and fold them gently into the mascarpone mixture.
Layer it
Dip the ladyfingers quickly in the coffee — soaked through, but not soggy — and line the bottom of a tray. Spread a layer of mascarpone cream, add a second layer of ladyfingers, then cover with the remaining cream.
Chill and serve
Dust generously with cocoa powder and scatter over a handful of chocolate flakes. Refrigerate for several hours, then buon appetito!
Buon appetito — and see you at the cellar for the next cooking class.
