If you’re searching for a fun family activity beyond the usual puzzles and board games, look no further than an adorable Italian grandma who’s eager to teach you the art of making pasta from scratch. Meet 84-year-old Nonna Maria, who has transitioned her popular Airbnb Experience, “Handmade Pasta with Grandma,” to a virtual format due to the recent pandemic.
Engaging Live Sessions
During the engaging two-hour live stream titled “Nonna Live,” Maria and her granddaughter, Sofia, guide participants through traditional recipes. Sofia reminisces on their site, “Sitting in my grandma’s kitchen as a child, I watched her make pasta while sharing stories of her mother and grandmother. It became clear to me that my generation was losing touch with these invaluable handmade pasta techniques and traditions.”
Preparation Made Easy
A week prior to your virtual class, Maria sends a shopping list of necessary ingredients and recommended utensils, along with suggestions for delightful wine pairings (who wouldn’t love this charming lady?). “Don’t stress,” she assures, “We keep it simple; you likely have everything you need in your kitchen already!”
Class Schedule and Options
Maria hosts her classes on weekends, but you can also join Sofia during the week. Their schedule features mouthwatering options such as fettuccine with tomato sauce, cannelloni, vegetarian ravioli with butter sage sauce, vegetarian gnocchi with pesto, and lasagna. Regardless of the day you choose, you’re bound to enjoy whatever dish is prepared. If Maria isn’t available, one of her sisters will step in to teach.
A Glimpse into Family History
The experience offers a glimpse into their rich family history. Participants will “become part of our lively family for a day and wander through the quaint medieval streets to Grandma’s kitchen, situated in the old winepress where my great-grandfather once crafted wine enjoyed by the community.” This unique experience should definitely be on your “Post-Quarantine To-Do List.”
Pricing and Benefits
Each live session costs $50 and spans two hours, making it an excellent opportunity for family bonding. It’s a wonderful way to connect, enjoy delicious food, and escape the chaos of the outside world for a little while.
