Fresh Pasta Cooking Class

Fresh Pasta Cooking Class

An authentic taste of Italy — in someone's home, the way it was meant to be.

Fresh pasta made by hand. A classic tiramisu. A glass of wine. Three hours in Lou and Kara's kitchen — cook from scratch, sit down, and eat what you made. No experience needed. Just show up ready to cook.

Lou and Kara Verde open their Atlanta home to small groups — 2 to 6 guests — for an evening rooted in Italian tradition. Every penny supports LIFE — the Longevity Initiative for Food & Education.

  • Source fresh, seasonal ingredients for your dishes
  • Knead and roll pasta dough by hand
  • Shape your pasta — tagliatelle, ravioli, or more
  • Prepare sauces that pair perfectly with your handmade pasta
  • Craft a classic tiramisu
  • Sit down and enjoy a three-course meal with a glass of wine

Your Hosts

Lou & Kara Verde

Lou and Kara open their Atlanta home to small groups for an evening rooted in Italian tradition. Lou grew up in a three-generation Italian-American household where everyone was always in the kitchen, the food was real, and the table was sacred. He founded LIFE to bring that way of living back — one table at a time. Every penny from every class goes directly to LIFE.

What Guests Are Saying

We came for a family date night and left with so much more than a great meal. Lou and Kara made the whole evening feel effortless and warm. We're already talking about coming back.

The cooking class with Lou and Kara was the most precious and valuable experience we have ever booked. We made pasta and tiramisu with our kids in a comfortable home setting. Everything was fresh, delicious, and unrushed. Lou and Kara made our children feel included, so the entire evening felt relaxed and joyful. We recommend it to everyone.
